Marky Posted September 19, 2009 Share Posted September 19, 2009 About to buy myself a laptop, have a few questions:My current PC has Microsoft Office installed. Will I have to buy a new disc, or can I use the disc we already have, and the registration key?I also have Norton Security installed. Will I have to buy a new disc, and subsequently renew my subscription every year, or can I get it to also protect the laptop? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Black Sabbath Posted September 20, 2009 Share Posted September 20, 2009 I've never had a problem. Just read the comments thoroughly before downloading and if it doesn't have any comments, don't download. Easy enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
