    Excel Problem With Old Office 2010 on New Windows 10 Computer


    So I downloaded Office 2010 onto my new computer using the original key, and it all seems to be working except:

    When I double click on an excel filename it opens excel, but not the file. I get a window with all the icons in the frame, but the icons are greyed out, and the whitespace where the spreadsheet goes is missing, and all grey. The same happens if I use a desktop shortcut. However, if I click File > Open > [filename] it all works fine. This only occurs on Excel, Word will open correctly from either method. If I right-click the Excel icon on the task bar there's no recent file list, but there is with Word.

    IIRC, Excel was working at first with a test file I'd downloaded from the web, but I'm not sure whether the problem started when I first used one of my own files or after I had set up a user account as well as the original admin a/c.

    Thanks.

    :)

    Recover office 2010

    I have new Office 365 programs but in order to create files in Excel from QuickBooks, Excel 2010 must be installed on my computer. I can not find my original disk to reinstall. Any suggestions?

    Done a clean install of windows 10 on a new PC. Installed my Office 2010, but now I can not open some of my excel files. They are designated XLSX, and when I try to choose a app to open them excel is not listed. I need these files, anyone got ideas. Thanks.

    Use Office 2010 on New Windows 10 Computer


    I had it previously installed on my Windows 7 machine, which I then upgraded to Windows 10.

    One thing that I have forgotten to mention is that a couple of Windows updates have broken Excel for a short time, but they were quickly fixed. I don't know if this was unique to Office 2010 or just a quirk in Windows 10, but over all, I have had no real issues running Office 2010 on Windows 10.

    Also, one of the guys in the office did a reinstall of Windows 10, and then installed his copy of Office 2010 with no hiccups, and all of the Office updates went in fine. I don't think you'll have any problems.
