How do I transfer preloaded Microsoft Office 2007 from my old laptop to my new one?
I don't have the installation CD because Office 2007 was already preloaded on there....does anyone know how I transfer/install it over to my new laptop, which at the moment has nothing on it? It's a UK laptop if that's relevant!!

Answer 1 :
You can't. When you transfer files like that windows will not recognize it unless you reinstall it. If you have your CD key, you can download the free trial and enter your CD key right away. If you don't have either of those you have to buy it again.
Answer 2 :
I'm not sure if your licence covers more than one laptop If your sure it does, then downloading it illegally, then using your legal serial code could work. Did you recieve a code with it? You could always try copying the files in C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office across on a usb stick, its a terrible way as it wont be properly installed but its a shot in the dark. Otherwise try OpenOffice http://download.openoffice.org/ All your files are compatible and will work great on this free version, made by geeks. It works great and is pretty much the same.
Answer 3 :
to get the install key from your current installation use; belarc advisor. it will display the key you need. http://www.belarc.com/free_download.html
