Windows 10: Installation of my nieces computer

OK thank you. Going to do it tomorrow. I thought that would have counted as an activation for Office. Thanks for the help.

 

WIndows as well as Office retail product keys are reusable.

A typical scenario: You have Office installed and activated with your boxed retail key, when your Windows crashes beyond repair. Only solution seems to be reinstall. You reinstall Windows using the same original key it was activated before the crash, then reinstall Office and activate it with the same boxed retail key you had it activated before.

Both your Windows and Office will be activated although you reused the old keys.

 

Yes but it's a computer completely. I am no longer using my old one that broke down.

 

It's the same. By activating Windows and Office on the new PC, the old one loses it's activation status. Worst case scenario is that you get a notification about the key being used already, but in that case you will be offered a so called phone activation number and can activate both by phone.

I will add to your reputation tomorrow. Computer is off and in my Bed Kari. Thanks again for the help mate.

 

You already did that a few hours ago, you can't rep me again before you have rep'd 15 more members. Forum rules to make rep abuse more difficult.

Anyway, we do not do this for reps, your thanks is more than enough.

 

I forgot I could request desktop site, so thanked Dude. And yes it's not letting me take care for now off to try and get a sleep.
