I just updated my HP Pavilion to Windows 8.1 and like it very much. I
would like to update my MS Office Home and Business to the latest
version but I want a box copy. I can't find a box copy in any local
stores. Is MS Office available only on those download cards with the
code number on it? If I buy one of these, then for some reason, later,
have to reinstall MS Office can I use the card again? For how long?

Thanks, Gordon


Save yourself some money, use:

LibreOffice: https://www.libreoffice.org/

OpenOffice: https://www.openoffice.org/

or any other free office Suite:

They all do the same as Ms-Office and the are free.


None of them have Outlook so not the same.


True if you are strictly comparing the office suites. But you can add
an email client to your computer, and be functionally the same.
Interoperability may suffer a bit, depending on how you use your computer.
