I am searching out videos like this because I don't want to pay for something twice. My last computer motherboard crashed. Because it was 6 years old I was convinced by the salesman that I should just take the hard drive and put it in a case. He said that way when the Microsoft Office runs out of free time on my new computer I will still have access to the one I paid for originally from my old one. I have tried several times to open Microsoft Office from the external hard drive and it just does not happen. It is still asking me for subscription. I bought that Microsoft 2010 I believe it is 440 bucks. I don't want to buy it again I still own it. Is there some subscription key I could find on it that I could put into my new one to transfer it to my new computer? It's kind of worried because I'm kind of old and this technical stuff is baffling me. If you have any suggestions I will gladly take them thank you.
