You can't.
IF you want 2013 you have to pay for it. Actually there are 2 exceptions.
You can use Office 2013 Web Apps which are associated with your Hotmail/Office live/Skydrive account. These are dumbed down versions of the applications.
The other way is if you are in school. MS introduced a new Offer in December. Students can get a "free" copy of Office if their school has the right type of site license. It is a very good deal if you can take advantage of it:

The software giant on Tuesday announced a new program called Student Advantage, whereby students worldwide can sign up for subscriptions to Office 365 ProPlus through their institutions at no cost to themselves.
The only stipulation is that the schools must have already licensed either Office 365 ProPlus or Office Professional Plus for their entire workforces, including faculty and staff.

Get Office 365 ProPlus for students at no extra cost when you purchase Office for faculty and staff
When you license Office 365 ProPlus or Office Professional Plus institution-wide for all your faculty/staff, your students get access to Office 365 ProPlus at no extra cost. Starts Dec. 1, 2013.
How does a school sign up to get Office 365 ProPlus for students at no additional cost?
Schools can sign up through their existing Enrollment for Education Solutions, Open Value Subscription-Education Solutions, or school contract.
Do students have to be on the Office 365 A2 plan before they can use O365 Pro Plus at no additional cost?
No. Students do not have to be on the Office 365 A2 plan. However, in order to have full productivity capabilities, it is recommended that institutions deploy both Office 365 A2 and O365 Pro Plus for their students.
My institution is already paying for students to use Office 365 ProPlus. When can we move to offering it to students at no additional cost?
Your institution can order and deploy Office 365 ProPlus to students starting December 1, 2013, provided that it meets all the conditions required for this Enrollment for Education Solutions, Open Value Subscription-Education Solutions, or school contract
benefit. At the anniversary or renewal date for your contract, please contact your Volume Licensing reseller to address additional questions related to the software provided to students.
My institution just paid for students to use Office 365 ProPlus. Will we get credit back?
There is no credit for the invoice already paid. For additional support, please contact your Volume Licensing specialist.
What happens when a student graduates?
When students graduate, their Office 365 subscription through the institution ends. They can enroll in other consumer or commercial offers.

Starting on December 1st, Universities that license Office Education for their faculty and staff can offer students Office 365 ProPlus for free thanks to a new program called Student Advantage. For students at these institutions, that means free access to Word, PowerPoint, Excel, OneNote, Outlook, Access, Publisher, and Lync. While many cheaper
alternatives to Office have sprung up, many students still rely on Redmond’s good ol’ productivity tools.
If you’re lucky enough to be enrolled in one of the eligible Universities, you should check out our
Office 2013 guide to to be able to fully utilize the productivity suite.
Exactly what happened when you tried to install Office 2007 on Win 7? In theory, there is a good chance you can install it even though it is not officially supported. What is the
FULL and EXACT error message text?
There are 2 things you can try. First, try running the install using "Run as admin" rights.
Win7 & Vista – in Start menu, single click to select item to select it, then use <CTL><SHF><Enter> to start it in “Run As Admin” mode
The other thing is to try "compatibity mode" during install and later when running:
Office 2010 in Win 7 – Remove Win7 “Compatibility” mode
A solution is:
· Start
· all programs
· Microsoft office (this gives the list of office applications)
· Right click on excel
· select ‘properties’
· select the compatibility tab
· uncheck the ‘ Run this program in compatibility for:’ ‘windows XP service pack 3’
My excel files now open fine.
