My Windows 7 (yes I know) laptop died. I had a paid subscription of Office 2013 installed on that machine and confirmed that the key is still valid. I just purchased a new Windows 10 laptop and would like to install the old version of Office that I have the paid license for. However, when I download and attempt to install, I get a msg that a 64 bit version is already on my laptop and can cannot installed the 32 bit version. It then instructs me if I want to proceed with the installation of the 32 bit version, I must deinstall the 64 bit version that came with preloaded.
I'm wondering if there is any way to use my active key get basic office installed/activated on my new machine? I don't use Office enough to purchase 365 for the annual renewal and do have a valid license (albeit very old).
Any thoughts or suggestions appreciated.
