I'm trying to help my old dad sort out a new PC - his old one has gone pop! This is a bit like the blind leading the blind, but he's decided a laptop would be better and he's found one in his budget but it doesn't have a cd drive.
This doesn't seem to worry him (or me) apart from the fact that neither of us are clear how we try and reload MS Office onto the new PC. He doesn't want to upgrade to a newer version of Office - at 85 he's too old to start learning how to use a new version when the old one is quite adequate. I'm also assuming that when he explains his old PC has gone pop the nice people at Microsoft will let him use his old version.
I guess the question is simple. Can he download Office from the web and then just use his licence/certification code to register it when hes ready to activate it?
