I just bought a new (used) computer that was surplus from my work. I want to migrate Office 2007 which I purchased through the home use program to the new machine.

I understand that it should be a simple procedure to uninstall it from the old computer and reinstall it on the new computer, and it might involve a phone call to microsoft.

Here's my question: If I uninstall office from the old machine first, I'm assuming that all the emails in Outlook would get erased. Then if I use the transfer wizard to transfer my documents and settings it wouldn't get the emails.

Would it be ok to first install office on the new machine with the DVD I received, run the transfer wizard and then uninstall it on the old computer?

I'm hoping to do the transfer through the ethernet connections and a network hub.

Try to Google and find out where Outlook stores emails. You should be able to copy that file (one really really big file, probably) to the new machine and recover all of your emails when you install office 2007 on it.

I just came across those files a few days ago and now I'm frustrated because now I can't find them again. They were a strange extenstion in either the main Windows folder or the Programs one. They were fairly big, around 10 to 15 MB.
