    If I upgrade to windows 10 for free will I also get the newer versions of Microsoft office word, excel, etc?

    Also can I roll back from an upgrade? And what risks are there I might lose my data, programs and stuff?

    :)

    Loading Windows 10

    I have an HP desktop with Office 13. I got a notice to upgrade to Windows 10, and when I did, the Office suite no longer works. I have spent hours with Microsoft support, and the only solution was to buy new Office software. So, the "free" upgrade will
    end up costing me the price of a new Office Suite. Microsoft offered absolutely no other option.

  3. Will the Microsoft Office software already uploaded on my computer be upgraded as well after upgrading to Windows 10?

    * Original Title: Microsoft Office

    So if I take advantage of this free offer and upgrade to Windows 10, will the Microsoft Office software already uploaded on my computer be upgraded as well or will I have to purchase a new product key? Also, will my files ie: documents, music, photos, and
    videos be saved as well?

    I don't think office is tied to the free offer.
    In theory one should be able to roll-back within 30 days of installation.
    However, I had a problem with roll-back on my initial upgrade from 8.1, with an error that files were missing and the rollback failed.
    It may be prudent to rather create an image before upgrading and restore that if required.

    So I can just keep on using the office programs I use now, they won't be replaced?

    Also is it normal the windows 10 tray icon is no longer visible as of today?

    And finally how can I see my windows is legit from the MGADiag report?

    What does a legit MGADiag report look like?

  6. Yes -- the Windows 10 update is not related in any way to Windows Office products.

    If you're interested in the new Office (2016), the Preview is available for free -- but you would need to remove the current Office version in order to use it. There are threads here in this forum about the Office Preview.
