Reader Anna, who goes by the ID truthseekerandteller, wants to know how she can copy Office 2010 from her old computer onto a USB so she can install it on another PC. While you can’t just copy an installed program and move it from one computer to another, there’s a way to get the product key and installer for Office, Windows and several other programs. You can then use those to install the program on another computer. To get the product key, download Magical Jelly Bean KeyFinder, and run it. It’s not guaranteed to find all your keys, but it usually works. Then, write down the product key for Office (or another app), and keep it somewhere. To download Office 2010 or 2013, visit this page (opens in new tab) on Microsoft.com, and enter the product key. You should then be able to download an installer for Office and put it on any Windows system you like. Note that if your license is for only one computer, you should uninstall it on the original PC. If you need to reinstall Windows 7 and have its product key, you can download a Windows 7 ISO file (opens in new tab) from Microsoft.com. There’s also a different page for Windows 8.1 ISOs (opens in new tab) and Windows 10 ISOs (opens in new tab). Once you have an ISO file, you can use the Windows USB/DVD Download tool (opens in new tab) to “burn” it to a flash drive or disc. After you’ve created your install disk, you can use it, along with your product code, to install the app.
