Snorting his way across the USA
Just a heads up. I had to buy a laptop at the last minute on Wednesday and set it up and equip it with MS Office. These days, you don't install Office from a software package. You type in a product key and install it from an online Microsoft download/setup site.
It took the product key, but hung up with an error code on the install. Couldn't get it to work. After about an hour of tech support help, the solution was to install from the Chrome browser. Edge has known problems for software installs.
Also, setting up a new machine with the latest Windows 10? If you don't already have a Microsoft account, e.g. Hotmail or Outlook, or the like, save yourself some trouble and create one first before setting up. You are forced to log in with one and if you try to create one through the installer's widget, it won't take and you will end up with a huge headache.
