It depends on which he has.

If he is subscribed to  a Microsoft365 subscription, then yes he’d be able to sign in and grab the office apps.

However, if this is a standalone office version which was provided to him free of cost, then Hellen  Keller services will have to go thru transferring the serial number to the new PC after deactivating the old one.

HI Monte,

This is quite interesting, I’m  saying this because if Jim has been using Outlook, I would think he has an account.  Who ever set up his Outlook account, I’m sure they created the account for him though.  As far as the serial and Product keys or numbers, I thought MS stopped requiring those numbers maybe a couple of years ago.  So this is something we might need to find out.  When I set up my Windows 10, I went to Microsoft’s web site, and I signed in, and sure enough, it quickly downloaded my Office, with all my settings from my other PC in regards to my Imap settings.

Jim, you do not need the disk.

You just need a micro soft account, which you can set up for free.

Then you can go to the micro soft store and download the outlook, or office program.

You will need the serial number to activate the software if you reinstall it.

You can find the serial number for outlook on your computer using a program likie the Belarc Advisor.

Janet, I can do that, but I need to figure out a way to keep my outlook program. I don’t have the disk, as the Hellen Keller service put the office program on the computer. From: main@TechTalk.groups.io [mailto:main@TechTalk.groups.io] On Behalf Of Janet

Hi Jim,

Is this unreliable pc you are referring to, the exact same one you have been working with for some months now? Is this unreliable PC the same one Microsoft couldn’t do anything with it? If this is the case, I wouldn’t buy a hard drive, as you don’t know if the issue is due to the hard drive although, it doesn’t sound like it is.  If you take it to the Geek Squad, chances are they just might perform a reset, and charge you, as you can do a reset yourself, and if you don’t feel comfortable enough to do that yourself, you can call MS, and ask them to set up your pc to perform a reset.  If you are going to get a new PC, and because you’ve dealt with this same issue, you might as well just deal with it until you get your new one. 

Janet

Hi all, the Hellen Keller foundation is going to give me a new computer in three to four months. Until then, I have this very unreliable one to work with. I can’t update anything. I can’t get jaws to install anything. I have version 2018, but it won’t install anything past that, even though I have been authorized to have later versions.

My win amp play won’t open properly etc. So I have to work with this, and I was just wondering if I head the geek squad install a new hard drive on this computer, it might solve my problems. Any ideas on this please?? Jim

Jim,

Another thing you might try, if you can now go to the Microsoft.com  site,  see if you can sign in there, and see if you can find your account, and if you can this will give you a better idea so when you do get the new PC how it should work.  In other words, play around with it while you still have the Pc with the Outlook account on your current PC. 

Janet

I’ll call them and see what they say. Jim

Jim,

When you get your new PC, can’t you just log in to the MS site with your Outlook password? The reason why I ask this, MS I’m sure has the copy in which I’m thinking you can after getting your new PC go to the MS web site, and it will ask you to log in, and you should get an option to download your Outlook right on to your new PC.  Maybe you can call MS and ask them if you can sign in to their web site when you get the new PC, so you can download your Outlook. 

Janet

  .

Yes.

Jim,

Are you saying Hellen Keller service put the Outlook program on your current pc?

Hold up. Is this outlook install is it the standalone office version, or  are you paying for a Microsoft 365 subscription?

Also, if your email is setup a as imap a new install should just f fetch all of the emails and you should be good to go.

Now having said all that, you’ll need to re-configure any settings on the new PC from outlook as they don’t  p port from a  old  install to a new install for some reason.

I don't know if it would solve the problem. they should be able to do a
diagnostic to see if the hard drive is the problem.

my first posting. What would be the cost of replacing a hard drive in a

Hi all, the Hellen Keller foundation is going to give me a new computer in
three to four months. Until then, I have this very unreliable one to work
with. I can’t update anything. I can’t get jaws to install anything. I have

version 2018, but it won’t install anything past that, even though I have
been authorized to have later versions.

My win amp play won’t open properly etc. So I have to work with this, and I

was just wondering if I head the geek squad install a new hard drive on this

computer, it might solve my problems. Any ideas on this please?? Jim
