Go to SolutionNeed MS Office Download
I had to replace my hard drive. Now I'm rebuilding my system. I purchased my system with MS Office preinstalled. When I go to Dell Downloads, MS Office is not on the list of downloads for my system. How do I download my replacement copy of MS Office?

Microsoft products aren't available in My Dell Downloads. See here:
What mode, what version of Windows and what version of Office?
Hi Natakuc4. Thanks for the prompt response. I took a look at the link you sent, but still have some questions. Hopefully you (or someone) can provide guidance. First, yes I do have the MPI that came with my system. It was for Office Home and Student 2010, running on Win 7, 64 bit.
It's not clear to me which executable I should download. Is it really better to download the x86 version than the x64, as the author of the link you provided said, or is that an outdated position? I really don't remember if I had x86 or x64 originally.
It looks like if I want x86 I should download X17-75058.exe (new SP1), and if I want x64 I should download X17-75161.exe (new SP1). Do you agree with my potential download options, and do you have any advice about which to download?

I would install 64 Bit X17-75161 personally. I don't see the point going backwards and using x86 versions. Its very rare to get a 3rd party addin that doesn't support 64 Bit office these days however Microsoft are still recommending to install 32 Bit versions of Office 2013/365.
