Hi,

I just purchased the new Acer Aspire One with XP (rather than Linux). I have Microsoft Office for Home and School with a license for 3 computers so would like to put Office on to the Acer.

However the Acer does not have an external CD rom - is there a way I can do this easily?

Thanks,
Karenne

    Copy the contents of the CD onto a USB thumb drive, or a flash diskette. Install from that

    Put the set up onto another computer and USB pendrive it and put it on your laptop, it shouldn’t need an external cd rom if it has an internal or is it like a notebook with neither?

    You could do it with a fire wire which connects to another computer then to your laptop?
