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

I still can't make a decision on this. I just went to the local
computer store and read the information on the little envelope that
contains some kind of business card with a code on it. It seems to me
that buying one of these will let me set my one computer up to do my
regular MS Office work on cloud nine or some such. That is, I won't
have a copy of the MS Office client software installed on my computer.
Did I misinterpret the information on the MS Office 2013 envelopes at
the store?

Another question I have regarding MS Windows 8.1 is, how do I do a
synchronize between two folders...one on my computer and one on an
external hard drive. I know I can do a fresh copy of the computer's
folder to the external drive but I would like to just do a simple
synchronize that would bring both folders up to the exact same file
contents.

Thanks, Gordon
