yes and no. Yes you can install it, but depending what kind of license you bought with MS Office 2010, it might now allow you to activate it because you have used up the cd-key (license) on previous PCs you have installed it on. Most standard licenses allows you to install it on 2 PCs. If you ever do run into the issue, just call Microsoft activation team and they usually activate (but deactivates other PCs that has it installed)

I've run into this issue when switching to another computer and trying to transfer my MS-Office License over. The key that you have will say that it has already been activated, but all you need to do is call the phone number that is provided, and an automated voice will ask you a few questions like "Is this the only PC that you are installing MS-Office on?" and then it will give you a code to enter (along with your key) which will then allow you to install it. Hope it's not to late for this answer.

The Surface Pro 3 is a full PC. You can install any programs compatible with Windows 8.1. So yes, you can install Office 2013.

Basically, none. I had a CD with games on it and installed it. I downloaded Adobe Reader off the Internet. I had previously purchased MS Office Professional 2010 ... but would you believe Microsoft would not allow me to install from my CD??? I had to purchase a new key code from them (after purchasing the program for $400+), in order to use it on my new PC! Same with MS Money: my product key code was not "recognized", even though I had never installed it on my old PC!! So I bought Quicken. Norton 360 for 3 PC's was no problem, thank goodness!

If it is not a Microsoft APP it won't install. Surface only uses APPS from the Microsoft Store.

Trial version of Office. I think it includes MS Works without any extra charge.

We do not have a license to license office on pc's. We can pre-install any version of office for you if you like. Just let us know what you would like. This will be a Trial version, You will be required to enter a key into office after the trial expires.

New generation of SURFACE PRO 2 will come with Microsoftoffice but old generation was no OFFICE pre-loaded. You need to buy MS office ( download).

If you already own MS Office and this is the only device you will install it on, you have two methods.The first is to attach a USB optical disk reader via the USB port, and then simply install from the Office disk.Or, you can go to the Microsoft Store and use the Serial Number from your Office disk to get a free download of the application over the Web. You then simply run the installation of the downloaded application.

To the best of my knowledge, Office 2010 is not included with the Series 9. I already owned a copy and was able to de-activate from the other PC and re-activate on the Samsung.

I acquired this computer last Nov 1st. It came with a trial version of Office 2010 on it. A product key code could make it permanent or allow you to download any files needed to augment it to your version. Personally I already owned a dvd version of Office 2007, so I bought an external drive and used it to install it on my computer instead. So that route would work as well.

I believe this upgrade is a single user license (it says so on my box) but you should check with Microsoft.

Yes it can run Microsoft word. It doesn't come pre-installed, but if you already own a copy, you can likely transfer that about to the surface.

Morgan, This one does come with a trial version of the latest Microsoft Office, but once it expires you will need to buy it. I loaded my 2010 on it and it works nicely.

There is no version of MS Office permanently installed. If you mean an offer to try MS Office for a period of time, it has expired, if there was such an offer. I don't remember. I use OpenOffice. Hope this helps.
