I made a huge mistake and clicked on the Get Windows 10 link.  After installing Windows 10 I realized that the Office Starter Edition on my Acer Aspire One is not compatible.  I reverted back to Windows 7 but now Office Starter will not run.  I try to repair it but keep getting a message that says I don't have an internet connection.  I DO!!

    Hello,

     

    I advise you to reset your PC with [Alt]+[F10] and perform the updates. By using "Go back to Windows 7", you loose many applications and have some issues.

    I did that, I reverted back to Windows 7 but now Office Starter will not run.  I went to the Control Panel, programs and clicked on Change.  It says it can't fix it because I don't have internet access.  but I do!! I can access the web all I want.

    May be Microsoft .NET Framework is the issue.

    Hello,

     

    May be useful:

    I use MS Office professional and LibreOffice 5.0 (free) and both softwares are very similar.

    Word = Writer

    Excel = Calc

     

    LibreOffice can open and save Word and Excel files.
