It often happens that we may need to reinstall Microsoft office when we buy a new PC or when you reinstall Windows on our old PC. But what if you no longer have the Office installation disc? If you purchased Microsoft office, you can use it forever (this does not apply to the subscription based Office 365). Therefore, even if you loose you installation disc, there is an easy way to reinstall office.

In this tutorial, we will show you how to do just that. If you no longer have access to your Microsoft Office Installation Disc, here’s how to reinstall Office.

What you will need:

Reinstalling Microsoft Office without the install Disc:
