Microsoft Office Install Help

[bill of oz]

a few months ago i did a "system recovery" because i had many various problems, it fixed all of my problems, but unfortunately it deleted my microsoft office package,

is there any way to get it back?

i think it came with my computer, i dont have install disks,

will the disks that came with my computer get it back?

i have microsoft office on ANOTHER computer installed, is there any way to copy it over from that computer?

No, you won't be able to just copy it over. You will need install disks and the product key. You can download open office or I think even google docs can work with office documents.

I recommend LibreOffice myself, OpenOffice is outdated.

Yes, LibreOffice will do that, and it's easy to install and use.
