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

UK laws on satisfactory laptop repair?
UK laws on satisfactory laptop repair?
Hi, just wondering if there are any laws in the UK that say that repairs carried out to an electronic product (a laptop) out of warranty must be satisfactory and guaranteed not to fail for a certain amount of time? I'm arranging a laptop for repair and I'm just wondering what my rights are if something goes wrong after it's returned, due to the repair work that has been carried out. Many thanks.

Answer 1 :
Any work down must be of a standard in keeping with normal care and skill. If the repair fails to fix the problem, it may not be the repair person's fault if they exercised normal care and effort. However, if the repair itself causes further damage, they can be held accountable. NO computer repair person is responsible for lost data, ensuring you have a good backup is your responsibility. Frankly, if yo are worried enough about the repair to ask these question before it has even happened, you might want to find a more reliable repairman.
Answer 2 :
Reputable laptop service centres usually guarantee their work for 90 days but can't be expected to be responsible for future (different) faults or data loss not associated with the original fault within the repair warranty period. You could take any claim about poor or inadequate service to the Small Claims Court. Any failure of parts supplied for the service (e.g. a new replacement hard drive) would be covered by the Sale and Supply of Goods Act (1994) and updates but it would be best to challenge the service centre under their warranty agreement prior to going to litigation. If possible back up your data before shipping your laptop to a repair centre and ensure, if you aren't delivering it personally, that it is in satisfactory packaging. I've seen laptops delivered to service centres in carrier bags (really) and the service centre can't reasonably be expected to be liable for any damage incurred in transit to them.

Answer 2 :
Yes, a laptop is small enough (even at 10kg~) that it can be carried as a carry-on on any airplane carrier. If you are referring to wi-fi access, then yes, wi-fi access is international. The 802.11b/g format is universal. So in response you will be able to use your laptop and pick up wireless in any hotspots in the UK.

Answer 1 :
Yes and all she needs is the adapter for the plug. Make sure it is grounded. Not a power adapter but the prong adapter you can find at radio shack and ebay(cheaper). All power supplies will step up from 110 to 240 I used mine in turkey. Like this http://cgi.ebay.com/US-to-EU-Travel-AC-Power-Plug-Adapter-Converter-NEW_W0QQitemZ330255289604QQihZ014QQcategoryZ88759QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem If you look at the powersupply it will say 110/240 so you just need a travel adapter US to UK.
Answer 2 :
Your only worry has to be the connection to an electrical outlet. For this, you need to check for two things: you need a converter for the power cable (like you mention before) AND also make sure the Power Supply for the laptop can take the 220V from the UK since by default it will be setup for 110V for the US. If it doesn't have a 110V/220V switch, I'm afraid she won't be able to use it.
