This wikiHow teaches you how to install Microsoft Office 2007 on your Windows PC. Although Microsoft no longer sells or offers downloads for this older version of Office, you can still install it if you get your hands on an Office 2007 install CD. You will need the 25-digit product key that comes with the CD to get the software running. If you don't have a product key, it won't be possible to register the software.

Steps

1. 1

   Purchase Microsoft Office 2007 on CD. Since Microsoft no longer supports Office 2007, it's not possible to purchase it from them online.^[1] What you can do is buy Office 2007 Home & Student or Professional on CDs from an online retailer—as of August 2020, there are many retailers offering the physical discs for sale on Amazon and eBay. You can also try local computer stores that sell used software.

   • Before ordering Office 2007 online, make sure you'll be receiving physical discs that come with a valid 25-digit product key. Do not buy a product key from anyone separately, as these are often stolen.^[2]
   • Always read a seller's reviews before making an online purchase.

2. 2

   Insert the Microsoft Office 2007 setup disc into your PC's optical drive. If there are multiple discs, insert the one that says something like "Installation" or "Disc 1."

3. 3

   Press ⊞ Win+E to open the File Explorer. You can also open the File Explorer by right-clicking the Start menu and selecting File Explorer.

   Navigate to the CD-ROM drive. If you see your CD-ROM drive in the right panel, double-click it to open it. If not, scroll down the left panel until you find the CD-ROM drive under "This PC" or "Computer," and then click it to view its contents in the right panel.

5. 5

   Double-click the Setup.exe file to run it. It'll be in the root folder of the Office 2007 CD. This launches the installer wizard.

6. 6

   Enter your 25-character Product Key and click Continue . This product key is usually on a sticker on the CD case, but it may also be on your receipt (check the email receipt if you ordered online). If you've installed Office 2007 on the same computer in the past, you may find an Office product key on a Certificate of Authenticity sticker on the PC itself.
