I have tried to install Office 2010 Home & Student several times in Win8.
I get thet the error that says it is not compatible with Win8.
Is this true or am I doing something wrong?
I have it running on my Win7 computer.
Both are legit copies. I feel cheated that I spent the money & can't use it!

I wanted to update a resume yesterday and decided to install my copy of Office Professional Plus 2010 installed fine and so far working normal. This is a copy I acquired from the Microsoft Home Use Program and downloaded from Digital River installed via USB stick on my Toshiba laptop.

Have no idea what it could be, since I have installed this and Office 2007 on Windows 8 with no problems.

Also, you might try running in compatability mode?
Even if it is legit you need to check the platform of your OS if x32/x64 to your Office 2012 x32/x64 to run and install with no error. :thumb:

Even MS Office 97 installs without problems, compatibility settings not required, except for an old bug in the Workgroup Admin installation for Access, which is well documented.

First time I have ever had problems loading MS software & I go back to Win95!
I think the keys are getting to many characters which make it easy to mistype!
