My laptop broke. I bought a new one. How to I transfer MS office from previous one?

To transfer Microsoft Office from your old laptop to your new one, you can follow these steps:

1. Check Your License: Ensure that your Microsoft Office license allows installation on multiple devices. If you have a subscription (like Microsoft 365), you can simply deactivate the old device from your account.
2. Sign In to Your Microsoft Account: On your new laptop, open a web browser and go to the Microsoft Office website. Sign in with the Microsoft account that you used to purchase or activate Office on your old laptop.
3. Install Office: Once signed in, navigate to the Office installation section. You should see an option to install Office. Click on it and follow the prompts to download and install Office on your new laptop.
4. Activate Office: After installation, open any Office application (like Word or Excel) and sign in with your Microsoft account to activate it. If prompted, enter the product key if you have one.
5. Transfer Files: If you need to transfer any documents or files created in Office, you can use a USB drive or cloud storage (like OneDrive) to move your files from the old laptop if you have access to them.

Since your old laptop is broken and you cannot access the screen, you may not be able to transfer files directly from it. However, if you had previously saved your documents to OneDrive or another cloud service, you can easily access them from your new laptop.

If you encounter any issues, consider contacting Microsoft Support for assistance with your Office installation and activation.
