Help. I need to install windows 8.1!

[Deleted User]

Hello. I have a notebook with a x64 processor and 32-bits Windows. I want to install 64-bits Windows on it, but the owner does not want to lose Microsoft Office apps. Any way to install windows 64-bits from SD-Card without losing the Office apps? Any info needed, tell me.

A clean install is needed, they can buy an office key online, should use Windows 10 if the specs is nice enough.

But can they backup office to a sd card then put it on the notebook after the install?

If it is not a volume key no, I know there is office 2007 with volume key out there but you need to torrent it , as for other version no, office key is only few bucks anyway so just buy one.

He can't bother to spend money, and a few bucks is a lot where i live.

Then you gonna have to torrent office 2007, there is a valid one being passed around, but you should use a vpn if you gonna torrent.

I have a few questions:

1. What are the computer's hardware specs?
2. Is Windows 8.1 what's currently installed?
3. How was Office installed (i.e. Was it purchased and a product key was entered, was it pirated, etc.)?
4. Edit: Also, which version of Microsoft Office is it?
