how do I get MS office to run on this laptop...do I need a code or should there have been an installation CD with my purchase?

I assume this is Windows 8? Anyway, you only get Office for 60 days. You have to find it on the apps desktop, or do a search for it. When you try to open it, it will prompt you for information and walk you through the process of establishing an account (msn) and try to get you to buy it right away or you can keep using it for 60 days. I believe if you have a newer version, they may let you transfer it to your new computer, I don't remember for sure. If you don't find it on the apps page, move your pointer to the right side of the screen and a menu pops out, you can do a search there and it will show up. By the way, I absolutely hate Windows 8!

You have to buy it - this computer does not come with MS Office. (a HUGE bummer...I realized this and was very disappointing myself....not only do you have to deal with annoying Windows 8, but you don't even have basic Word or Excel.)

Go to the desktop (lowest left hand corner tile) and you should find a link of MSOffice which will let you install a trial version. After the 60 days or so you will need to buy one.If you do not see the link, you can go online and google search word and find a trial version that way. In the mean time shop around for the best deal on Office.

I found that it was a great purchase. When I purchased the laptop I was under the impression that it would come with a trial Microsoft word. However once I tried to sign up for my free trial period I needed a Microsoft code that should have come with the laptop package. I did not have my stater code with my package and it was not listed on the owners manual . I ended up having a co-worker install it for. Me . I hope this helps !

No. The Microsoft Office is not actually pre-installed in this laptop. There is just an icon link (an installer downloader) to download and install Microsoft Office 365 (2013) as a 30 day trial or as a paid subscription. You can still buy MS Office that will work on only one computer (one license copy) and install it in your laptop. You can also install and use LibreOffice suite for free. As well as Google Drive has word processor (Google Docs) and spreadsheet (Google Sheets) web apps that you can use for free as well.

True, Maduranga brings up a good issue. You could buy office 2010 from the web and install it from the web download. or you could try copying all of the info from an office 2010 disc with another computer onto a usb drive as files, or as an image, and see if you can install from them. Worst case senario, you can borrow someone's usb cd\dvd drive and install everything on discs through it, or buy one, use it, and keep or return it.

If your machine came, as mine did, with Windows 7, you will still have to purchase Microsoft Office programs separately and install them yourself or be the tech dept. where you purchased them They do not come as party of your Windows operating system. Or you could also find an Office suite of programs on the Web which are available on a rental basis or some even as freeware. Unfortunately, I am unable to give you specific links.

My wife uses the product at her workplace. She says that the option is given at setup on which program you want it to interface with...MS Office is one choice. I don't know how well it works with Office.

Hi, Thank you for the question. Our systems will not come with any Office software installed. We install only legal versions of W7 Professional on it. Thank you, Jason

No, Lenovo computers never include MS Office. It might come preinstalled on the computer, but it's done for your convenience only. You still need to purchase the product key to activate it.

I have Microsoft Office 2007 and installed it to this computer. It works great and I have been using it for about 2 months without issues with that software.

MS Office is pre-installed but you need to activate and costs you--also it has MS Windows 2010, but upgrades to MS Windows 2013. I did not get mine with OS CD. I am not sure if it upgrades to Windoe.

Microsoft Office is not pre-installed. You would have to pay if you want to get it.

I acquired this computer last Nov 1st. It came with a trial version of Office 2010 on it. A product key code could make it permanent or allow you to download any files needed to augment it to your version. Personally I already owned a dvd version of Office 2007, so I bought an external drive and used it to install it on my computer instead. So that route would work as well.

Nope. No Microsoft Office. Mine came with Windows 8, a trial of Mcaffee Antivirus, and that was about it.

Office is not included by default. You will need to add it should you need those programs.

Actually, MS Office is installed but after a short trial period you will have to buy it.
