Stephen Posted June 2, 2010 Share Posted June 2, 2010 I have the Office 2010 beta installed, and in particular have been using the Outlook 2010 beta. I am ready to buy the final Office 2010. Can I install it over hte beta, or do I have to uninstall the beta? If I have to uninstall, how do I transfer or save the email messages and contacts from the beta version into the final version?

Ishi Posted June 3, 2010 Share Posted June 3, 2010 I am not sure but I have a feeling you will need to remove the beta first before you install the full version or maybe when the beta period ends, there could an option asking you to upgrade so I'd rather wait till the trial ends and if this option asking you to upgrade does appear, that would be the time to find out. I believe that your saved e-mail messages and contacts are saved somewhere in the Office 2010 folder that you can then copy and paste to a similar location in the Office 2010 folder in C:\Program Files after the full version is installed but this is a bit theoretical as I have not exploited MS Office myself. I love computer maintenance tasks. Some of my favorite programs: Wordpad -basic word processing Notepad - temporary clipboard and basic scripting module Windows Media Player 12- video, music and online radio player Windows Media Center - live TV, local FM radio CCleaner- handy computer maintenance tool If something fails to work after using the registry cleaner, use SYSTEM RESTORE.

Moderators Nergal Posted June 4, 2010 Moderators Share Posted June 4, 2010 ?430 thats a lot of money Thank Goodness I work for a Non-Profit and we can get (Very discounted) Microsoft Licenses (think $5-15 instead of ?430 ) ADVICE FOR USING CCleaner'S REGISTRY INTEGRITY SECTION DON'T JUST CLEAN EVERYTHING THAT'S CHECKED OFF. Do your Registry Cleaning in small bits (at the very least Check-mark by Check-mark) ALWAYS BACKUP THE ENTRY, YOU NEVER KNOW WHAT YOU'LL BREAK IF YOU DON'T.

Moderators Andavari Posted June 4, 2010 Moderators Share Posted June 4, 2010 ?430 thats a lot of money As good as Microsoft Office is it's very well worth it in my opinion! It isn't like someone has to update to every new version as I'm still using Office 2003. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
