I extracted the Prod key and it was accepted on the MS download site but every time I try to download it it starts off then fails with 'Network Error'. Does this on two comps here with a perfectly functional fibre network. I created a new MS account for the woman and verified it with the email MS sent to her address. site here https://www7.downloadoffice2010.microsoft.com Guess no one can fix this but interested in other's experiences/ideas. PS I have done downloads of Office before.	linw (53)

Try Firefox & use it resume download function (I think the newer IE can resume downloads as well ?) other times the download function simply goes offline for 1/2 a day, not good when I needed to download 2016 for an install :-)	1101 (13337)

1421132	2016-05-30 00:05:00	Thanks, guys. I must thank Lawrence for his posting as I decided to give that a go and it downloaded the exe with no problem at all. No need to create an MS account, either. That downloader is a keeper! All is now well with the world! Until the next time!	linw (53)
1421133	2016-05-30 00:07:00	Had another thought. Just as well the win 10 updates don't come from those crappy servers!!!!	linw (53)
1421134	2016-05-30 00:13:00	Their community forum is just as crappy today. Could have walked to town and back. Before it loaded anything !	Speedy Gonzales (78)
