Windows XP Pro Office--On Home Edition?

Greg J. · 07-15-2004, 02:27 PM

I'm going to do a full, fresh install of a retail Windows XP Home Edition purchased from Circuit City. My question is: Is the Microsoft Office XP Professional CD compatible with Windows XP Home Edition? I've already tested it on my machine, yet wonder if there are any known incompatibilities. Please, all responses are appreciated.

You should have no issues loading Microsoft Office XP Professional onto Windows XP Home. The Software was designed to be compatible with all XP versions.

If you wish, you can always look on the side of the box the software came in... it should say minimum OS.

Will the Academic Edition of Office XP Pro work too?

No incompatibilities. The various versions of Office just have applications missing rather than compatibility problems
