Where do you look on a new Dell computer with windows 8 to find out if you have access 2010 or 2013? I was taking class at a career center and she told me to tell her if I have it already on my computer.  I don't know where to begin with it to find out if I have this or is this something I have to find out first and then download? Is there a cost for this?

slide tiles until you find Microsoft Office and or Access, Excel or Word....and the year is part of the title..... or in traditional mode from the Start button look for All Programs and do the same thing...

one can have Office without Access because Access is only in the higher cost Professional Suite - so you do have to figure out if it is there...Access can be bought stand alone....

since you say it is a new device then it will be 2013 or nothing - would be my guess.

to buy it one goes to the Microsoft web site and follow their instructions - it is a download of the product which is essentially a full working timed trial but what you receive is the long product code which is critical.....and makes it permanent....
