Can you move excel from an old computer to a new computer without the install disks?
I believe the answer is NO, but I wanted to ask. Here’s my situation. I have an old Dell desktop that came with all the Microsoft Office software. I wish to move it to a new Dell that I bought that doesn’t have any Office software. I do not know if this is possible. There are just so many files pertaining to Office, I would not know which to copy. Any ideas? Also, since it came preinstalled on a Dell computer, can Dell send me the install disks do you think?
Note: I’m going to delete it off the old computer and get rid of the old computer, so it’s not like I’m trying to illegally copy it. It’s still my legitimate legal copy, but I want it on a different computer of mine.
no you can’t, when it is installed files aren’t just copied into one folder – they are placed all over the hard drive.
plus there are entries written into the registry too.
you really can’t copy ANY installed program to another computer OR onto a disc. you need to re-install from the original source.

In Rainbows $7.85 On the deliriously satisfying In Rainbows, Radiohead returns to a more straight-ahead (though subdued) rock sound. Much hubbub has been made about this record’s innovative release. Radiohead allowed fans to pay what they wished to download fairly low-resolution tracks from the band’s own website. Like so many innovations, it already seems funny both that it was such big news and that someone else … |
