Title: Loading MS Office Post by cumbriahandyman on Dec 1st, 2010, 11:51am The wife has a notebook, no CD drive. I want to load MS Word and Excel onto it. Can I do it using a memory stick? If so what is the procedure? Cheers

You could also put the contents of the CD into a directory on your desktop PC, and assuming you have both machines networked, copy the directory from the PC to the notebook, and then execute the setup.

Get an external hard drive or network it to another PC. I favour making a drive image backup incase there are hardware specific drivers (trackpad or battery monitor?) that are hard to find if you need to re-install everything eg following a hard drive failure.
