MS activation - something to watch out for

[mikeymikec]

After putting an SSD into my wife's machine and Win10, I went to install MS Office 2007. It refused to activate over the Internet, so I went for telephone activation, to which it said "telephone activation is no longer available for this product", and wouldn't tell me what the number was to ring.

Luckily I knew the number anyway and it activated fine.

Huh, interesting, don't suppose you could post the number just in case?

I know in Canada here, the number to activate Windows and Office is the same so here we could always get the number that way too

The UK one is 0800 018 8354. If I see an activation prompt soon I'll look it up.

Are there any issues in running that on Win 10?

Office 2007 in general on Win10 or activation for it? I've activated MSO2007 on Win10 for a customer recently without any problems. My wife designed a PowerPoint presentation on the machine in question without any problems after activation.

Running office 2007 on win 10.
Last I heard, it wasn't stable, so, I just wondered if she has had better luck?

So far so good. She's not a heavy user IMO, probably averaging needing to do something in MSO once a fortnight. Though knowing some specifics of instabilities would be helpful.
