Hi. I just bought a new computer with Wndows 8.1
My prior computer who just died had Office XP 2002.
Can I install it on this new computer or is it going to be any problem?
If any problem, what exactly and what shall I expect?
Thanks
Emilia

OfficeXP (2002) is not compatible with win8, most problems will be with MS Outlook.
There are no security updates for OfficeXP
This is free, should you decided not to buy MS Office 2013
