Windows 10: What will happen to MS Office 2007 if I upgrade my windows 8 to windows 10

I am having a windows 8 laptop. I wish to upgrade it to windows 10. My question is what will happen with ms office 2007 if I upgrade from windows 8 to windows 10. Will I be able to use MS Office 2007 in windows 10 as well?. Will there be a need of product key to do so? I don't have my MS Office product key. What should I do?

Microsoft Office 2019 Will Run on Windows 10, and Only Windows 10

I agree with this. No one is stopping me from using my purchased 2007 Office. Works just great for my needs 11 years later.

I can understand why MS would want to shed many versions of window support for office that doesn't play well with Win 10 coding. I'm all for moving forward to create a better user experience. Might finally upgrade and keep Office 2019 for 10 years until 2029 to make it worth it again. *Big Grin

Well, I think it's fine, as long as you can use previous Office versions on Windows 10. At work, we still use Office 2003/2007 on most machines, with one of them using Office 97. All of them running Windows XP (with hardened security policies) or Windows 7. To be honest, we only upgrade the OS if it doesn't break compatibility with some mandatory legacy apps (with mandatory I mean that there is no alternative because the tax office holds exclusive rights to make the apps to fill certain taxes and information registers, and because they still use Visual Basic 5 for their coding, so we must maintain compatibility). So no, honestly, we are still far away from even thinking about moving on to Windows 10. And we hardly use any feature introduced with Office 2007 and after, so there is even less incentive to upgrade.

 

MS Office 2007 word not working

what build do you have installed?

I have been using Office 2007 on windows 10 and only experienced any issues when I upgraded to build 15014.

having reset windows and reinstalled Office 2007 (and everything else) and Office 2007 is working without issue.

I have since installed build 15019 and office 2007 continues to behave.

Office 2007 is 10 years old, and operating systems have moved on, it is not unreasonable to expect problems with old software, more so in the later (insider) builds.

MS are not purposely blocking Office 2007 but nor are they putting effort into keeping very old versions of programs compatible - it costs time and money and impacts on the functionality of the OS.

you can reinstall windows 8.1 from the original media or, as srfeeman suggested, contact the equipment manufacturer.
