Microsoft Office 2010 includes
essential productivity apps such as Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and more. It is
available in both Home and Student as well as Professional packages. The
products included in these packages differ, but the installation process is the
same. Follow this guide to get Office running on your computer with minimal
fuss.
Step 1
Uninstall any old versions of Office. Keeping any older
versions of Office installed can cause errors and problems with your files.
Ø To
remove old installations, Open the Control Panel, select Programs and Features
(Windows Vista, 7, 8), or Add/Remove Programs (Windows XP).
Ø Wait
for the list to load and then select your old Office installation. Click the
Uninstall/Remove button and wait for the uninstallation process to finish
before installing Office 2010.
Step 2:
Insert your
Office 2010 DVD.
Alternatively, open the downloaded Setup file
that you received when you purchased Office 2010 online. Either method will
follow the same steps.
Step 3:
Enter the Product Key. This is the 25-character key found on
the packaging that your Office 2010 came in. If you purchased online, the key
will be displayed in the order confirmation window.

Step 4:
Accept the License Terms. In order to proceed with the installation, you need to check the
box indicating that you have read and agree to Microsoft’s terms of use.
Step 5:
Choose your installation. Clicking Install Now will install all
of the Office products included in the version that you purchased. Office will
be installed to your default hard drive (the same that Windows is installed
on).
·
Choose
Customize to specify which products you want to install. For example, if you
never use Excel and just need Word, use Customize to disable the Excel
installation. You can also use the Customize option to install Office to a
different location on your computer.
Step 6:
Wait for installation to
complete. Once you have chosen
your installation options, Office will be automatically installed. The amount
of time this takes will vary depending on the version you are installing and
the speed of your computer.
Once Office is finished installing, you can access each of the individual
Office programs from the Start menu.
Note: Additional software may be installed as per requirement of
curriculum and local VTI.
