Think you'll need another license for this, but let me check.

vpacalypse said:The video also outlines windows 7 will still be on the system, so I'm guessing Office will remain intact.

Quick question: will I have to reinstall Microsoft Office? I don't have the disc. Besides, I bought it through an NHS scheme which has now expired.

Should be okay if you just upgrade it over the top of your existing Windows 7 instance I think - which version of Office is it?
EDIT - Ahh - depends which OS you have currently:
Upgrading to Windows 8[/b]
[/b]If your PC is running Windows 7 Home Basic or Home Premium, your files, programs and settings will easily transfer to Windows 8. If your PC is running Windows 7 Professional or Ultimate, Windows XP or Windows Vista, you will need to reinstall your programs. Some features such as touch may require a new PC.

Hi BB,
Ignoring Windows 8 in the equation, you should uninstall Microsoft office from your device.
If it was purchased because the NHS Hospital had a select agreement and then pulled out of it, you lost the right to the license you use.
