Hi, I'm new here so apologies if this is common knowledge.



Will MS Office install/run on Windows 8? I put Win 8 Consumer Preview on my laptop and my MS Office 07 doesn't run on it.

Thanks in advance

well it worked for me.

did not try Office 2007, am not going back to 32 bit.

Try installing in compatibility mode and yes 2010 install in 64 bit fine for me.

Yes. Microsoft Office 2010 Will Work For Windows 8 Preview Versions.

I'm running Office 2007 on Windows 8 Consumer Preview without a hitch .

What problem you're getting???

I tried loading windows 8 using the option to save all my files. It worked fine until I loaded Office 2010. Then after reboot, the PC will freeze up, sometime doing an automatic reboot and sometimes no reboot. reboots seldom get through a new login and freeze again.

I completely reloaded windows 8, this time with the "keep nothing" option. works great until I load office 2010. Then, same symptoms as brfore.

I thought I would give this forum a try brfore opting for windows 7 again.

I did eventually get it to work. Deleted Office and reinstalled it and it work no worries.

Just put 2010 on my slate (windows 8 pro), and that works great too.

Office 2010 works perfectly on my system. (Despite my hatred of Metro I do use Windows8 as my only OS on my main office machine.)
I have 64bit Windows 8 but use 32bit Office, the same config as I had on Win7. Microsoft recommended using 32bit on both 64and32 bit Windows 7 for the widest compatibility. The only advantage of 64bit office was for really enormous spreadsheets.

Thanks for the testimonials, but I verified that it is the office 2010 (maybe I'm in the wrong forum). I uninstalled office 2010 and the reminder of the system is solid. I wonder if the fact that I have a quad processor CPU is part of the problem.

Is there a more appropriate forum for this problem?
