    Windows 8.1 to 10 Upgraded. Lost Office 2013


    I was fairly sure when I purchased my Asus Transformer T100 It came as a full featured PC with Office included. I'm enjoying the W10 32bit OS version 10.0.19042 build 19402 but don't know if I traded off and now lost Office. Of course Office 365 is available for a fee but I don't want to go that subscription road thingy. I'm looking into my paperwork and specs but wanted to know if anybody else has had this experience.
    I posted this in the General forum but thought here would be better.

    Most new computers include a Trial copy of Office, I end up with clients wanting that uninstalled so as to use what they paid for. Haven't had any issues doing that for them. If doing a factory reset or a Windows reset you may get that version back. The factory reset puts the computer back to the condition as it shipped.

    On the same subject many customizations of Win10 will go away in favor of the Defaults at the next Version Upgrade and maybe with a Build update.

    This was an included home & student version. I managed to find my product key and after several attempts to bypass Microsoft's shameful redirection to Office 365 UPGRADE? I found. Microsoft 365 and was able to, with an MS account of course reinstall MS Office Home & Student 2013. Just a warning to anybody else trying to upgrade Windows 8 to10 even if you check "keep files and apps" older versions of Office won't be installed. If Office is integrated OEM version even Belarc Advisor doesn't show the whole product key (just the last five figures) so find the full key before you try the upgrade.
    Thank you for your input!
