I need to purchase a new operating system for my Lap top as the installed free trial has expired.
I am not a student
I use the lap top for personal projects and some work projects. Am I eligible to purchase and use Microsoft Office Home & Student Edition. I seem to remember something about needing a student id to activate the product.
As Adam says, http://www.openoffice.org is a free alternative to Microsoft Office. It is less buggy and will open up any old Office files you have saved on the computer.
