Default Office 2007 Reinstall of Upgrade on Vista vs Xp

Just upgraded my PC to a new laptop and also moved from XP to Vista. Now I
need to move my Office 2007 to the new PC. The Office program was an upgrade.
Do I need to install the old office software and upgrade again or just
install office 2007? Will I need to uninstall first on the old PC and then
install on the new PC to avoid license install issues? Any other suggestions?

You can put the Office 2007 media in the drive on the new laptop, and then
when it prompts for qualifying product, you remove the Office 2007 disc, put
in the previous Office version disc so that it can verify the upgrade
qualification, then when it goes to the next screen put the Office 2007 disc
back in and complete the installation. Per the User License (EULA), you can
activate Office on one PC and one laptop so that should be fine.

NOTE: If your new laptop has an Office 2007 Trial version preinstalled
(which many do), be sure and uninstall the Trial version and Activation
Assistant first to avoid problems with the Product Key and possibly other
issues...
