    If anyone is having issues downloading, make sure to download the second script with the F at the end of the file name. Also, there's a good chance the download servers are getting hammered with everyone trying to download it at once.
    If it doesn't work, try waiting a little bit and try again.
    Edit: Some ISPs are blocking the download. You can try changing your DNS to the Google DNS servers if you have issues downloading.

      Switched to LibreOffice myself recently. I used a 2013 or 2016 (something like that) version of Office I paid for for years. Recently it started misbehaving, wouldn't open correctly unless I did things very specifically. Normal troubleshooting steps didn't work, including uninstall and reinstall. So I went to LibreOffice, works just fine. Get bent Microsoft, I'm not paying a subscription for spreadsheet software.

    The video transcript provides a method to get Word and Excel for free, specifically referring to Microsoft Office 2010 Starter, which was an ad-supported version of Word and Excel that Microsoft offered for free. This version had some limitations compared to the full versions of Office. The method involves downloading an AutoIt script to obtain the Office 2010 Starter installer and related files, running the installer, and then applying an update to enable the applications to run. The transcript also mentions some warnings, such as the fact that Office 2010 and its Starter edition are no longer supported by Microsoft and may pose security risks. It suggests considering open-source alternatives like LibreOffice or OpenOffice if security is a concern.

      @@diamondpainter16 I was wrong on the sheet limitation, but it doesn't have the ability to protect, or unprotect, cells or sheets. If you open a file with a protected sheet that has protected cells, you get a warning. You can open the sheet (if not password protected?) but you will not be able to remove the protections so you cannot edit cells with protection. I am sure there are other limitations that I have not noticed and of course it will be missing features from later versions. There are probably plenty of reasons to use something else.

    I've got a licensed version of Office 2010 which I purchased and can be used on 2 pcs. It isn't OEM, and can be installed on two PCs at any time eg my desktop and laptop. I have just got a new PC to replace my old one, and won't let me activate it because it says I have reached the maximum number of activations. It says I need to phone a number and enter it in manually. But it says that there is now no longer any phone number that can phone to manually activate it. . This appears be due to the age and it not being supported any longer, and there doesn't appear to be anyway to contact them.. Seems they want me to subscribe to their 365 subscription. I had the same problem with my older adobe cs3 software where they turned off their activation servers. So even when you buy software you can't use it for as long as you want it seems. Things were a lot easier when computers weren't connected to the internet.

    What about the security risks of running office 2010? There has been no security updates for it for years! Maybe if your using it on an isolated system, but not on a web connected PC!

    Thanks. I still run my trusty old Office 2003, and found that if I installed a later version of office, even if to a new/different folder, the old version didn't work any more. Any idea if this will do the same since it runs in a virtual machine?

      I also used Office 2003 with the old menu system that I prefer. But when Excel started to give me problems (by closing down unexpectedly), I had to use 2010. But 2010 won't let you have an older version of Office installed. So I installed 2010 first and then re-installed 2003 for Word. That way I can run Word 2003 for "doc" files and 2010 for "docx" files.

      @@dkyrtata6688 Ah, never thought to install them in reverse. Odd that Excel was problematic, I don't use it a lot, nor many advanced features but have never had a problem that the reinstall/option to refresh(?) it in add/remove programs didn't take care of. And with the patches for the ....x file types, can open most, (all I've run across but I'm not in business world any more) of them in the 2003 versions just fine. I have more problems with Mac users sending their Pages format documents... :) Hmmm, I wonder if the latest Word can open the Mac Pages app format files?

      @@richardwernstIn case you try to install Office 2003, I used a completely different directory path (C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Office 2003\OFFICE11) to minimize the chances of Office 2010 from finding it.
      The next step was to associate the "doc" files with 2003 and the "docx" files with 2010 at the Windows level. I do not remember the order of which I did those steps. You'll have to experiment to make sure that the proper Word comes up for the type of file you double-click on.
      Come to think of it, maybe all you need to do is associate the "doc" files with Word 2003 while everything else remains with Word 2010.

    The supposed Microsoft installation files are being downloaded over http and if one changes urls to https it then throws an invalid certificate error, so if one would download those files, especially through a VPN, there's a real chance of a Man-in-the-Middle attack, so the files can be swapped "mid-air" for some infected versions. If a good AV scanner flags those files while/after download be warned that they can actually be malicious.

And now they expect you to pay a yearly subscription! All I need is Word and Excel, do I need to uninstall what I have and then install this? I'm not too computer savvy, so any help will be appreciated.

    I'm still using Office XP (2002) as it suits all that I need it for. Part of it I confess is that I loathe the Ribbon interface in current versions of Office. Plus I confess I really miss Frontpage.

    • @TheSimoc
      @TheSimoc 3 місяці тому +2

      Couldn't agree more. Plus, the ever-increasing code bloat in each newer release with no reason. Actually, Office 97 was the last good IMO. 2000 had tuu much buggy behavior and XP had already somewhat screwed UI (While Windows XP was the last Windows to have a proper UI which was pinnacle of Windows). But all further versions were indeed worse and worse. Still like this video though, in case newer Office is needed for some reason. At least no-one should pay for such a crap.

      I agree. The older interface is much more customizable.
      I got used to the ribbon with Excel but one problem with it is that it takes up too much space. Why can't Microsoft create a narrower ribbon as an option? How hard can that be?

I click, "Yes", and it returns, "Could not find recent version of Office 2010 Starter (en-us). Program will be exited". It gives me the same for Spanish and for French and for Dutch.
    I have a CD somewhere though. Maybe it'll still work. No biggie if it doesn't. I have a full version on my main work-based laptop. It'd just be handy for the times I need to check on a file without having to fire up the other laptop.

    This is perfect if I can get it to install, the thing is I have some hyper-v machines with server 2019, for some company's with their accounting software, and they have the need to export some reports in Excel, but the software only exports in Excel format if I have the Office/Excell installed, they don't use the Office/Excell in the server, it is just to be able to export, after that they copy the file to their local computer and do whatever they need. But I can't get this to install, gives me an error about something related to virtual machine and asks for Windows Vista SP1, running in compatibility mode doesn't do anything.
