1451245 2018-07-05 22:30:00 Am getting a new PC.
Have Office 2013 on my current PC that downloaded (have all the codes). Do I have to buy another copy of Office for the new PC (which will be scrapping)?
Thanks

1451246 2018-07-06 01:01:00 Generally No.

All you do is log into your office account you will have created when installing Office, and download again. It will show the current PC as well so simply discount /remove it.

www.office.com/myaccount

The Codes that you originally had are not the actual product key. Those are held as MS. This goes for Stand alone or Subscription based.

1451247 2018-07-06 04:00:00 The Office 2013 key you have should work for install - I think it was more 2016 they changed the way that works?

As Wainui said, if you pop that key into into www.office.com/myaccount it should give you the install file, otherwise you can download it using this tool and hopefully your key works to activate it.

See the specs below of the new PC he got me.
