Upgrade Office

[sporty]

I purchased Office Standard 2007 for my desktop a few weeks ago. I recently

purchased a mini laptop that has a free trial of Student 2007. I would like

to install Standard on my mini but there is no optical drive on it. How can

I install Office Standard on the mini to activate with my existing Standard

key?

You can't download it, so you'll need to get an image of the installation

media available to the mini somehow. How about an externally-attached USB

optical drive?

As well as your question, how do you plan on recovering win if your mini

throws a fit?

Copy the installation DVD to a USB drive, or buy a USB optical drive, they

are cheap.
