I saw a thread awhile back of everyone offering help in different areas or use of facilities so I thought I would chime in. I didn't find the thread but still. I have been doing professional computer repair for almost ten years. I currently work for geeksquad for the past two years. I know it might be limited because of distance, but I can offer low price repair to locals and will definitely consider trades for those a bit farther away. And definitely willing to do some work at any events on laptops etc... Just throwing it out there because I know how much we charge to fix. Looking for to finally making it to a gathering this coming season!!!!

the product key under your laptop is most likely for your copy of windows, not for office.  if you DO have a legit copy you can usually call if its for the same version/edition.  theres many ways to obtain software but i wont be discussing them on this forum.   

It reads Microsoft office product key, and I've entered it several times and it doesn't like me.

Ditto, plenty of ways to get office free but I won't say them here. Now open office is free and a decent substitute. My skill set is mostly repair and virus removal, hardware install. I don't really do networking stuff, but only because I never got into it or needed to learn it.

It's a new laptop and the form of excel is what came on it.

New computers do not come with office full version keys. It is probably a windows 7 key on the bottom of your laptop. Check out open office unless you want to buy office

Bingo.

I have open office on my old laptop, new one won't let me finish the setup process. I guess I'll have to buy it...  ....
