How to save Microsoft Office before reformatting?
I need to reformat my laptop and have backed up all my data. However, I'm worried about losing Microsoft Office.
My laptop didn't come with it installed, so we bought a 3-install copy of it. All of the installations have been used up, so I can't just reinstall it. Is there a way to get it off before I reformat, a way to keep it on there during the reformat, or restore it afterwards?

No, that's not how the license works. It doesn't mean you can install just 3 times. It means you have 3 licenses and you can install it on 3 different computers. You can install it an infinite number of times on those 3 computers. The license agreement means it can only be running on 3 different computers at the same time.
So, you're good to go. Just reinstall after reformatting and input the product key (which is the license) when it prompts you to activate your software, and it will go smoothly.

replica all of your archives to a USBpersistent, then nuke your domicile windows. be particular you've each of the installers you want in the previous doing this. you'll need your domicile windows installer, MS place of work installer and in spite of different classes you take advantage of. in case you downloaded the installers from the web, they could already be corrupted by potential of a scourge. it really is best to receive again from scratch once you effectively reinstall domicile windows. After installation domicile windows, in the previous installation place of work, set up an anti-virus application first and make it lively directly. Disable saving cookies on your browser (so do no longer ignore any passwords) and set your anti-virus to envision as in many cases as you likely want. be careful on what you got and use the anti-virus to experiment it in the previous you're trying to position in it. be sure a firewall is operating too and it really is more suitable in case you used a router in between your pc and the web to act because the widespread firewall. holding malware is undemanding in case you're taking the necessary precautions.

LOL....
The licence is for three computers.
Not for three installs.
you can install it as many times as you want on the same computer.
using the same key as you did the first time.
