Windows 10: Office 20007 Home and Student lost; substitutes clunky, so...

20H2
The background is that two or so weeks ago I experimented with the free substitutes, but found them difficult and lacking. Somehow a strange file appeared, STR.TLB, before Excel and any substitute would open. Neither I nor a repair man, whom I called in to solve an unrelated more serious matter could remove it. Office 2007 was uninstalled, and he temporarily replaced by LIbre Office.
Now I find my carefully(!) guarded Office CD is missing, so will have to buy 2019.
It being ages since downloading a commercial program, Is it best acquired from MS, or a retailer e.g. PC World. Presumably it will download directly to the hard drive. If I want to make a back up can or need I?

Office 365 Education free to students and teachers in US

Making it easier for teachers and students to work together

Microsoft Office has long been a staple in the teacher toolkit for communicating and collaborating with their classes. Today we’re thrilled to announce that we’ve made it easier for teachers to get Office on all their devices—while storing and sharing class material with students using OneDrive.
Last week we were excited to share with you the next steps in bringing Office to everyone, on every device. The updated Office apps for iPhone and iPad and the upcoming Android and Windows 10 apps are full of great features to help students and teachers do more and achieve more. When combined with an Office 365 subscription and full Office, they can do even more and the experience can be incredibly impactful on classroom .

Millions of teachers and students are already eligible through their school to utilize the advanced editing and collaboration capabilities, unlimited OneDrive storage and Dropbox integration of an Office 365 subscription and may not realize it. So we’ve created a simple way for you to find out.
Beginning today, teachers in the U.S. who are eligible to get Office from their school can sign up for Office 365 themselves using a school-provided email address at www.office.com/teachers. Students in the U.S. can check their eligibility at www.office.com/getoffice365.

By signing up for an Office 365 Education account students and teachers receive:

The latest versions of Word, Excel, PowerPoint, OneNote, Outlook, Access and Publisher.

Installations of Office on up to five PCs or Macs.

Advanced capabilities on Office mobile apps including Windows tablets, iPad, iPhone and Android (when available).

1 TB of storage using OneDrive for business (unlimited storage coming soon).

Office Online to work on Office files with anyone, anywhere in real-time.

Teachers, to check if you’re eligible:

Go to office.com/teachers.

Enter a valid school-provided email address.

Students, to check if you’re eligible:

Go to office.com/getoffice365.

Enter a valid school-provided email address.

For school IT, allowing students and teachers to use the self-sign up process makes it easier to manage Office 365 and deliver all the benefits of the world’s leading productivity tools to your entire organization.
Worldwide availability of the self-sign up process for both students and faculty is planned for later in the year.

Problem arisen with re- installation of Office Home and Student 2007

It having been lost, when I had to rest the computer, I attempted to re-install Office Home and Student 2007 today. However on opening Excel, I get Code:

code execution cannot proceed because MSVCR80 was not found...
Click to expand...

I have re-installed Office but nothing has changed. Can someone help me, please, to solve this problem?

Has it anything to do with compatibility of Windows 10 and Office 2007? Should it have, are newer versions still available other than the rip-off Office 365? I have looked at some of the clones and spin offs. They seem clunky and odd.
