Windows 10: I experienced a hard drive failure on my win 10 pro laptop, and after resurrecting no...

I replaced the hard drive with a 2Tb SSD, reinstalled the win 10 pro OS, and now trying to bring back all the apps I had grown to love, which includes MS Office, primarily Word and Excel. The laptop was new about 10 years ago. Can anyone point me in a direction to reinstall these two apps? I cannot remember if I obtained the apps from my MSDN account yeah, I'm old or not, or if Microsoft offered them to me for free...I know I did not pay for the apps nor did I subscribe to for them via Office. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.mitch

Windows 10 Pro License Transfer on hard drive failure

Just to be certain:

I had a desktop with a retail version of Win 10 Pro that experienced a hard drive failure. Obviously, I still have the USB drive and key. The old computer wasn't worth updating so I purchased a new computer that came with Win10 Home edition. I'd like to
transfer that version over to Win10 Pro. Before I hose my new computer, I need to know 2 things:

1. Is the license transferable? From what I see, the retail version seems to allow this but as the old hard drive is toast I can't uninstall or deactivate the other version of Win 10.

2. Is this a link to show the procedure to do this?

Thanx!
