Split from this thread.
I just purchased a new laptop. I am not into big word programs or excel, etc. All I want is to be able to create a word document.
Can I install my office 2000 on windows 10?

It will also appear on the tiles start up if you want. Cheers! Γεια σας. Greek for Bye bye.

Upgraded to Windows 10 and setup returns error messages and stalls. Compatibility fix doesn't work either. Oh well. Seems MS could offer a reduced price for registered users.

Being able to install, & even use it, on Win 10 (some users have reported problems even installing it on Vista & later) doesn't make it compatible and may cause problems.
