How To Get Legit Microsoft Office For Free

[@CyberCPU]

If anyone is having issues downloading, make sure to download the second script with the F at the end of the file name. Also, there's a good chance the download servers are getting hammered with everyone trying to download it at once. If it doesn't work, try waiting a little bit and try again. Edit: Some ISPs are blocking the download. You can try changing your DNS to the Google DNS servers if you have issues downloading.

[@BenjaminBobkin]

So basically if I have the "f" script, all I can do is wait?

I prefer libre office myself as well, though I could see myself keeping this around as a "just in case" for compatability

[@TechTonic420]

It is compatible already. I use Libre Office for my school work and it works perfectly fine. I had no issues with it, and nobody even noticed that i use it. In fact, i even replaced the Microsoft Office on some of the school's laptops when i reinstalled Windows 10. So yeah, Libre Office is already great as it is.

[@Hardcore_Remixer]

I use MS office because of the search function it has. It allows me to find stuff without needing to look for it by myself. I tried Libre Office, but I was already too used to searching for the stuff that I didn't know where to look for.

[@mjc0961]

Switched to LibreOffice myself recently. I used a 2013 or 2016 (something like that) version of Office I paid for for years. Recently it started misbehaving, wouldn't open correctly unless I did things very specifically. Normal troubleshooting steps didn't work, including uninstall and reinstall. So I went to LibreOffice, works just fine. Get bent Microsoft, I'm not paying a subscription for spreadsheet software.

There are many key sellers and free tools available to activate Office. I tried several sources, including eBay but they all stopped working after a couple of months.

I downloaded and have installed the starter version on several friends computers and they like it. If I remember correctly, the one limitation that I didn't like is that Excel Starter is limited to a single sheet. I still have the download and the update saved along with a notepad file of instructions on installation.

[@aarontheone7193]

Could you post it for grabs? 👀

[@schGjS]

@@aarontheone7193 Sorry, I don't think I would publicly share the files. Besides, the script does pretty much the same thing and it gets the files from Microsoft. I just tried the script, without installing, and it downloaded everything so it should work.

[@diamondpainter16]

As to the excel limitation, are you saying that within each worksheet you can only have one sheet (the tabs across the bottom that say sheet1, sheet2, etc.)? If so, that sucks. Do you know what other limitations there are?

[@schGjS]

@@diamondpainter16 I was wrong on the sheet limitation, but it doesn't have the ability to protect, or unprotect, cells or sheets. If you open a file with a protected sheet that has protected cells, you get a warning. You can open the sheet (if not password protected?) but you will not be able to remove the protections so you cannot edit cells with protection. I am sure there are other limitations that I have not noticed and of course it will be missing features from later versions. There are probably plenty of reasons to use something else.

I've got a licensed version of Office 2010 which I purchased and can be used on 2 pcs. It isn't OEM, and can be installed on two PCs at any time eg my desktop and laptop. I have just got a new PC to replace my old one, and won't let me activate it because it says I have reached the maximum number of activations. It says I need to phone a number and enter it in manually. But it says that there is now no longer any phone number that can phone to manually activate it. . This appears be due to the age and it not being supported any longer, and there doesn't appear to be anyway to contact them.. Seems they want me to subscribe to their 365 subscription. I had the same problem with my older adobe cs3 software where they turned off their activation servers. So even when you buy software you can't use it for as long as you want it seems. Things were a lot easier when computers weren't connected to the internet.

I'm still using Office XP (2002) as it suits all that I need it for. Part of it I confess is that I loathe the Ribbon interface in current versions of Office. Plus I confess I really miss Frontpage.

[@TheSimoc]

Couldn't agree more. Plus, the ever-increasing code bloat in each newer release with no reason. Actually, Office 97 was the last good IMO. 2000 had tuu much buggy behavior and XP had already somewhat screwed UI (While Windows XP was the last Windows to have a proper UI which was pinnacle of Windows). But all further versions were indeed worse and worse. Still like this video though, in case newer Office is needed for some reason. At least no-one should pay for such a crap.

Please keep in mind that these Office 2010 starter versions of Word and Excel do NOT support macros or VBA modules.

Script is broken

[@markusTegelane]

make sure to download the zip with F at the end of filename you may also need to wait, because Microsoft servers might be a little overloaded from everybody trying to use the script after watching this video

Check out the pinned comment.

The supposed Microsoft installation files are being downloaded over http and if one changes urls to https it then throws an invalid certificate error, so if one would download those files, especially through a VPN, there's a real chance of a Man-in-the-Middle attack, so the files can be swapped "mid-air" for some infected versions. If a good AV scanner flags those files while/after download be warned that they can actually be malicious.

As I recall Office 2010 needed the compatibility pack installed to work with modern office docs.

[@CyberCPU]

No, that was office 2003.

[@Joseph1NJ]

@@CyberCPU Oh gee, you're right.

[@charginginprogresss]

confirm it's 2003 2007 is already fully compatible and with packs 2003 also is, best version btw

[@CyberCPU]

​@@charginginprogresssoffice 2003 is really buggy in Windows 10 and 11. I still think 2007 is the best version of office. It still works great in Windows 10 and 11.

Great vid! Followed your instructions and I'm up & running.

It didn't work initially. But after uninstalling Microsoft 365 in Control Panel / Programs. It worked

[@ericb31]

Worked for me just now.

[@Roscantyy]

Update on what works?

[@drsmfaisal]

Thank you. It is working for me for both word and excel (downloaded on 23 Nov 2024). Very helpful Please advise if there is any way to get MS Power point to add to this MS office 2010 starter pack thanks

[@Redstoneprofi01]

Summary: The video explains how to download an old Word and Excel version from 2010, so it's a very old version.

[@jpbeek7759]

unfortunately it doesn't work for me. I get the followong message: The versionnumber of Office 2010 starter (en-us) has changed. Locate new number and download? If you click download you get the following message: Could not find recent version of Office 2010 Starter (en-us). Program will be exited.

[@ibizenco]

Same here. No go, it seems (but is that REALLY bad? 😈 )

[@pietromondia2028]

2010 is the best version of Office. Same interface for all the apps and easy to use. Still usign now after I try for month the 2019 and 2021. They are too slow and "laggy" on the same pc and the menu are more more complicated to use for some basic function. I don't know why Office since 2013 has gotten increasingly worse...

[@robertmcdougall3166]

Absolutely agree, like yourself I still use 2010 and newer versions too slow and needlessly complex.

[@raquelbigby5501]

Thank you for this information. I have Office 2010 and have been worried that it is too old and been considering changing to Libre instead.

[@pietromondia2028]

@@raquelbigby5501 no don't worry. Even they don't support more the suite, if you install the software from 0 there are still all the updates available on Windows Update....

[@pietromondia2028]

@@robertmcdougall3166 and I think 2010 has the best graphics. Simply but beauty, no metro style or too Ribbon as Office 2007...

[@MrKentaroMotoPI]

You are correct. I use 2010 on my machines and 365 on company machines. 2010 is better and... it doesn't keep changing. Works great on Windows 11. 2010 is forward compatible, but some 365 features are not backward compatible. If I had to use those features, I'd buy 2021 instead of 365.

[@artilleryisbetter]

Is it possible to download MS Office 2013 from microsoft & use it while having Office 2010 (the software in the video specifically) installed on the PC? I ask is because I had to uninstall Microsoft 365 that came with Windows11. Thanks for the video.

Still running Office 2007 on one of my laptops. My work gave me a CD and key to work remotely back in 2006. It’s a full version. Don’t think I should update.

[@mda5003]

So is downloading and installing the full Office LTSC Professional Plus 2021 from the Microsoft website with free activation being a little bit naughty?

[@miptzi]

how to hide the Q drive? it doens`t appear in the disk manager

[@Alex-ld6id]

Got an error message, cannot load 32 bit app on a 64 bit system?

[@CyberCPU]

You probably have a pre-installed version of office already on your system in 64-bit. You have to uninstall that before you install a 32-bit version of office like office starter is.

[@mythrium]

@@CyberCPU I also had this error, so i uninstalled the demo version of office that was pre-installed on my laptop, but now I got the following error : Microsoft Application Virtualization is installed in an incompatible configuration. Contact your system administrator for assistance. I check on MS website and they mentioned a not clear solution :-( : Microsoft Application Virtualization might be configured to use a different drive than is required by Click-to-Run. (i guess it has been setup with something different then the Q drive that the office starter use, but no ideas how to fix this). Thanks!

[@CyberCPU]

​@@mythrium I show how to fix it in the video.

[@gallanojohnbernard870]

How can I install the version 22H2 for my laptop? When I try to update it, it always fails and gives me a "something didn't go as planned" and cancels the update. At first it didn't matter to me, but now my laptop has no sound and can't connect to bluetooth and it's really troublesome. I tried to reset my windows but fails, and errors keep on coming. What should I do?

[@klwthe3rd]

Does the "Q" drive ONLY appear when you run Office 2010?? Or is it there permanently after the install???
