Installing Office 2010 Over Office 2013

[MTbowels]

Hi all

Can I install a full version (with product key) of Office 2010 over a trial version of Office 2013 on a laptop? The laptop came with the 2013 product installed and it's been activated. However, I'm not certain what it's doing as the installation details seem to show that it's called Office 365 and don't state that it has a limited lifespan on the laptop. I can't find any great detail about how I can find the details of the installation type on the internet.

As the laptop belongs to my daughter who needs it for uni, I need to be certain that the program won't expire on her as she's too far away for me to get to. The only safe way I can see of resolving this is to install a known working copy of Office 2010.

Thanks

Office 365 is a subscription-based cloud service:

So there's going to be a demand for money coming in order to maintain full use of the service.

I certainly wouldn't try installing Office 2010 over Office 365 but there's no reason why you can't simply uninstall Office 365 and then install Office 2010.

Alternatively why not install a free alternative to Microsoft Office anyway? OpenOffice is just as good and is increasingly used by public bodies who don't like paying lots of money to Microsoft:

OpenOffice does everything that Microsoft Office does and, with a few simple tweaks can be configured to automatically save files in Microsoft Office formats (rather than in its own native formats) so that they can be forwarded to Microsoft Office users without any problems:
