Download microsoft works

Hello,I am a computer dummy with computers.  Between home and business I own 2 Dell 8110's, an HP top of the line lap top, and an HP7160 which is broken.  I believe that all the computers came with microsoft works installed or with discs to install.  I hired a professional to set up and install the first 3 which have been used only for personal business surveillence.  The 7160 was used mostly for the need of microsoft works and correspondence.  Since it's broken I am using one of the Dell's for e-mail and would like to install any version of microsoft works primarily for writting letters.  Problem is I don't think I should pay for it.  Is there a legal way to get a free download?  Can I download microsoft word or similar at no cost.  PS...the disc's I've found won't work and it is MS Works 8.  I thought this was going to MSN but thank you anyone for any help.

There is no download available for works. If you have the disc, try installing it with the disc.
For more information on Works, check the link below.

If you do not have the disc, you have to purchase it use the applications.
To purchase Microsoft works visit: http://store.microsoft.com/home.aspx

Hey Roast Beef, your situation sounds similar to mine.  I have a disk for Works 8.5.  It loaded quite nicely onto Windows 8/8.1.  Then I got this laptop with Windows 10 pre-installed and have stood on my head in a snow bank, surrounded by sharks to try to get this program installed on Windows 10.

Don't call yourself a computer dummy because you're in effect calling other people the same. Maybe it's just that we've been too busy leading REAL lives than to pay our undivided attention to some machine!  I really like Works too.  It's easy to use and it lets the user be as creative as they'd like to be.

 

All I can surmise is that Microsoft hasn't made enough money yet so they keep changing their systems to get us to buy new programming or pc's etc.  I don't know about you but I still do use pen and paper.  It may not be as exciting or as quick as the internet but it sure is a lot less stressful!

Try installing Works in Windows 10's compatibility mode, as shown at http://www.windows10forums.com/articles/compatibility-mode.7/. Choose the compatibility for whatever version of Windows you had when Works was running properly.
