Office 2013

Hello,

I have replaced my Win 8.1 laptop pc with a new Win Home 10S laptop and I want to transfer my licensed Office 2013. I have a key that I used to download but not sure where I got it. The product was purchased at a store. I don't see it listed in the MS Store
along with the key for my desktop Office 2013.

Can I use my key from my Win 8 pc to download Office 2013 onto my new Win Home 10S pc?

Thanks,

Microsoft Office 2013 Pro Plus download?

Ya I've seen it the way Newtekie says quite often at least with Office 2013 when I was more involved with those deployments. Once you register the setup key, you can fumble around and find the actual product activation key online. Seeing that folks are expected to link their installs to Microsoft Accounts or an email account iirc, they make it easy to activate in many situations...but when one wants the actual key they can make it a pain to acquire for that activation. Odds are you were using the activation key and linking them to credentials, which activates it during the install process but that is not the product activation key. It's a mess lol.

Though there were enough complaints that maybe they changed it...I haven't deployed MS Office installs for a good while now. But when I did, the above was what I dealt with and I preferred to document the true activation keys rather than the key card keys...why they thought that was a good idea in the first place I'll never know. lol.
