Last year I put Office 2007 on my new PC and it's fine. Microsoft quit supporting Office 2010 in fall of 2020, so there won't be new software or security updates, but, if that is not a concern, I think you should be able to load the program and have it function fine.

Thanks kudzu. Dell offers MS Office, with Outlook for $249. I have Word files going back 25 years, do an occasional letter, address an envelope, use Excel for a few different spreadsheets and have always used Outlook for my email. If my 2010 will work I will be just fine.

I think it will install normally and work fine. How do I know? Three months ago, I bought a new Lenovo PC (cool machine, all in one with a touchscreen and an SSD) and installed the authorized but also 2007 MS Office version I have. It works fine. I'm cautious that sometimes files of third party origin can contain problems. I won't use it in such cases since I know a lot of the "updates" from all software makers are to close holes to reduce risks from troublemakers .

It's not a bet the ranch proposition, LibreOffice is free, is updated regularly and for sure works fine. Used by millions and millions of folks everywhere. And it's mostly compatible with MS file formats

FWIW, I installed MS Office 2010 on my new pc Friday. All appears fine, so far. This morning I got a notification to schedule a restart to install a few updates. One was for Office 2010. I thought they stopped providing those this past October? Whatever, I was appreciative.

Support for Office 2010 ended in October 2020...but they have provided updates every month since then: MS Office updates

So, I follow the link and can download the 2010 Office updates for the last 12 months? Cool.

Or just turn on automatic updating. If your MS Office was configured like this previously, you may have already downloaded and installed these updates.

I agree with most of what the above posters have said and, if you're already used to Office2010, it will seem like an old friend! Having been an Office user since version 1.0, I have suffered through the many changes MS has made. Most of them I learned to use and love, but not all.

FWIW, I had to uninstall and reinstall MS Office 2010 because of problems when I uninstalled the 30 day free trial version of MS Office 365 that came on my pc; it locked up Outlook. Anyway, the next day there were more than 50 updates for Office 2010 that had been downloaded and ready for install. That was nice.
