Download Excel on a PC running Vista

June 19, 2013 9:24 AM

Need to get MS Excel on a PC running Windows Vista. Latest Excel versions seem to require Windows 7 or 8. Any help on where I can get a downloadable version of Excel for Vista?

Wow, I didn't even realize Office 2013 was a thing yet.

Office 2010 should work on Vista. You can download it if you have a product key here.

Office 2007 should also work fine, and can be downloaded from here if you have a valid product key.

If you don't have a product key perhaps try buying an old CD copy from Amazon or wherever and using its product code. Assuming you get it legit and the software isn't still installed on another machine that should work.

Discount Mountain sells Office 2007 Home and Student as a download for just under $135.

Since you're asking I assume you can not use Open Office or one of the other free spreadsheet programs "equivalent" to Excel?

Response by poster: The request made to me was for Excel specifically.

Not a download but if you email me I can send you a disk with valid product key. I've upgraded to Office 2013 and no longer need the earlier version.

Response by poster: Thanks X4ster...as I explained in the email, the person who asked me this has decided to upgrade to Windows 8 and the accompanying Excel version ...thanks to all for your responses.
