What Office Suite do I buy for my new Microsoft Surface Pro?
I just ordered my Surface Pro on ebay and it should be shipped within a few days but I need to have an Office Suite that is compatible with Surface Pro? Does anyone know where I can buy this for cheap or which one I actually need. I know it comes with it but you have to buy it separate to get full access after 6 months. Thank you

From the question you do not say if your new machine is a replacement for an existing one. If you have a version of Office on the machine your are replacing - take the Office off your old machine and install it on your replacement. It should work.
If i am right - Surface Pro runs on W8 or 8.1. The Office you are currently using may run on earlier versions of Windows. If you try to install a program on 8 or 8.1 you might find you have to adjust the compatibility settings - but it will work.
I am currently using Office 2007 on W8.1 with no problems.
If you want a different cheaper version of Office - I also use Open Office - and again it works well.
Hope that helps

Open Office is free and works on Windows 8. It has loads of plug ins as well.
It will open, edit ans save as all MS Office file extensions.
Theres also Libre Office, again free open source software;
