I just purchased a laptop with office 2013 trial but want to use my existing 2007 small business from my laptop that died. when I put in the key code says isn't a 2013 code? can this older version be installed?

hii,

Can you explain me what exactly is happened with you. you want to install office 2007 however your laptop comes with office 2013 per-installed. So what is big deal in this uninstall 2013 and install 2007 with proper key 

Regards

Hi,

My understanding is that you want to install Office 2007 small business in the new laptop which included the Office 2013 trial version. Am I right? If yes, I recommend you uninstall Office 2013 trial version first and then install Office 2007.

If you do not have the installation source, please download it from this site:
