Windows Vista I have Windows Office on Vista HP 32 bit PC. Can I use it on Windows 8 64 b

Hi!

I know that when a PC has the OS installed at the factory MS doesn't allow us to transfer it to a different PC. That said, is that true for Office, too?

I have Vista HP SP-2, 32 bit & it has "MS Office Home and Student 2007" installed & I have Windows 8, 64 bit on another laptop, but I read that newer versions of Windows don't come with Office, (I haven't opened the lid yet so I don't know for sure, as it was a gift & I didn't want to ask the very generous giver the details & seem ungrateful).

As a rule, I don't use Office as my PC is strictly for personal use. It would be nice to be able to use it from my new laptop if the occasion should arise, though.

What's the regulation on this situation?

Thanks much!

Hi!

I kinda figured it couldn't be used on another PC, but I had to ask someone who knew for sure. I heard that Open Office is good, so since I never used MS Office anyway I'll keep that in mind if the need arises. I'm not ready to use 8 anyway as I still like Vista HP. I just like to plan ahead.

Thanks
