Can I Transfer Microsoft Word From One Computer to Another?

1. Obtain Microsoft Office backup installation software if you do not already have it. You can download it onto the computer you would like to install it on from office.Microsoft.com or order a DVD. You will need your product key to activate the software, which can be found in the confirmation email from your original download or on the product package.
2. Uninstall Microsoft Office on the first computer. You cannot uninstall individual programs, so if you also have other Office programs such as Excel and Publisher, you must uninstall them as well. To do this, click on the 'Start' menu, 'Control Panel' and 'Uninstall a Program' underneath 'Programs.' Select the version of Office software you own and click 'Continue.'
3. Restart the computer after the uninstallation to complete the removal process. If you do not completely deactivate the software, your product key will not work during reinstallation on a different computer.
4. Install Microsoft Office on the other computer by either inserting the DVD or running the installation software you downloaded. Follow the installation instructions and provide the product key when prompted to activate the product.
