Upgraded from win7 to win 8. Need to reinstall MS Office 2010.
Hello all,
I bought my dell laptop with win 7 and MS Office 2010. I later upgraded from win7 to win 8. My system became unstable and I did a refresh of the laptop. I now need to reinstall MS Office 2010. I have the activation key but I have to get the installation files. My dell downloads was no help.
Any advice on where to get the installation files?

First do not install Windows 8, if you want stability, install Windows 8.1 with Update 1 directly, see here for instructions in making up to date recovery media:

Regarding my Dell Downloads it does not support Microsoft products but try here:

Thank you very much.
I installed win 8.1 and followed the link you provided.
I was able to download and install MS Office 2010 successfully.
Again, thank you.
