MS OFFICE 2007

Question

HI my pc runing slow then I am reset/restore then many application remove or uninstall from my pc . one of this is ms office 2007  ,I want to reinstall but neither see in program and feature ,and uninstall program so how can reinstall it and I am lose my product key.

Answer 1

Removing unused applications is a good idea to free up hard drive space. Most of the time it will not help speed up your computer.  Only if the application loads something at Windows startup time

.

So, uninstalling 2007 probably won't help and may cause problems.  MS no longer supports Office 2007, you may have a hard time re-installing it.

.

If you want to an uninstall, use "method 1".  But you need your product key to re-install,

Uninstall Office 2016 / 365 – 2007

.

Method 1: Uninstall from Control Panel (or Settings dialog)

Method 2: Completely uninstall Office with the uninstall support tool (SetupProd_OffScrub.exe)

Method 3: Remove manually (Registry Hack)

.

The Method 1, “Normal uninstall”, is designed with the assumption that you will be re-installing Office. It does NOT delete everything. It leaves configuration files like NORMAL.DOTM and other templates etc. It also leaves configuration Registry entries. Normally these “carry-overs” are safe. But if method 1 didn’t fix your problem, they may be the cause.

.

Method 2 (and 3) are intended to completely wipe Office from your computer

.

Note:Method 1 includes links to Office version specific re-install instructions

Tools to Extract Product Key

http://www.7tutorials.com/how-recover-your-lost-windows-7-or-windows-8-product-key

http://pcsupport.about.com/od/productkeysactivation/tp/topkeyfinder.htm 2015 10 01 - Review 22 Free Tools

You can use any of the following tools to extract the Product Key from you computer. These tools report on many installed programs on your computer, not just Office.

.

PS: you should keep a copy (printed and/or file copies on external storage devices) of the report(s) generated by these tools so you have all of your product keys / registration numbers available for future re-installs

.

FYI: I (Rohn) have not tested these tools in Windows 8 or 10 (just haven’t had an excuse to make/waste the time), but I don’t expect any problem. The underlying mechanics of Windows 8 are essentially the same as Windows 7 if you ignore the Metro User Interface. Think of metro as “lipstick on a pig”. The pig is not changed by adding a little paint on the surface.

.

**NOTE:**these tools no longer work for Office 2013 and 2016 after MS “improved” the way the key is stored on your computer. You can now only extract the last 5 char of the key, enough to match to the real product key you have recorded elsewhere.

.

NOTE: OEM (factory install and activated) licenses use a different key than the one reported.  Only the factory can use the PK from the original factory activation. You would have been provided with a separate piece of paper with a Product key for reactivation.

.

ProduKey may be able to extract product key information from a file saved externally. This is useful if you’re trying to get the key details from the backup of a now defunct machine. Try the /Regfile option.

.

<snip>

After installing on my system, I ran the program à AS ADMINISTRATOR ß and then clicked on File à Select Source. Once in this menu it may appear a little overwhelming, don’t worry it’s not that complicated and your not going to break anything else. Select the circle next to “Load the product keys from external Software Registry hive”. Now from here you may have to browse to a slightly different location depending on where your windows.old folder is located, but you want to basically browse to the following and open this file:

C:\Windows.old\Windows\System32\config\RegBack\SOFTWARE

.

After opening this file select ok; you may have to wait a few minutes for it to load the hive and give you your keys, but if they’re there you should see them and be able to fresh install your MS Office.

Please note that this did work for my Office 2007, it also gave me my Vista Home & Personal Key, and Internet Explorer... lol! I hope this helps someone else too! And remember backup before you do any upgrading/downgrading/or destruction to you PC.

• not only does Belarcextract product keys, it reports on a WHOLE BUNCH of other stuff you want to know. Printing the report, or saving it is probably a good idea.

Win 95-Win8,  V8.4

.

NOTE: I tested version 8.4 on Windows 8.0. It reported my Office 2003 2007 2010 product keys correctly. BUT for Office 2013 Pro Plus (local install) it did NOT report the key! Gosh Darn!  It reported: 00215-95000-26121-AA381 (Key: ends with G8YGX)^f,g^  (the “ends with” is correct)

.

Superscripts f and g say:

·    f. The full product key is not stored on this computer. However, the characters shown uniquely identify your product key.

·    g. You can have Windows save the full product key using the procedure at http://www.belarc.com/msproductkeys.html.

NOTE: The process described in the link in “g” is good for Office 365, and MAYBE (I can’t confirm) online purchases of Office 2013. It does NOT work for Office 2013 Pro Plus! (which I have <grin>)

I tested V1.37.463 on Win 8.0 it reported Office 2010 correctly, did not report 2007 or 2003. 

The “serial number” aka Product Key reported for Office 2013 Pro Plus (local install) did NOT agree with my documentation of key used!
