Office Starter 2010 and Windows 10
Hi everyone,
I have recently upgraded my XPS 14Z from Windows 7 to Windows 10. However, now none of my Office Starter 2010 programs will load. No message, just the rotating circle mouse icon for a few seconds then nothing. Trying to 'modify' the office installation in Control Panel gets the same response. I might be abel to uninstall, but where would I re-install from and would I need a product key?
Thanks for any tips.

Office 2010 Starter is obsolete and has been replaced by Office WebApps. See here for details:

This gives you basic, Word, Excel, Powerpoint and OneNote.
The limitation is that you have to store your files in your OneDrive and edit in a Web Browser.

Thanks NATAKUC4, that does give me another option that I will investigate.
Are you saying that Office 2010 Starter will not work with Windows 10?

Pretty much its been phased out. Office 2010 Starter always did something strange making a Q:\ Drive in the background. Likely Windows 10 just uninstalls it.
