In March or April 2010, I purchased Office Home and Student 2010, online.  I have the product key.  I do not have a CD.

In October, the hard drive on the computer containing the software failed.  Now, with a new hard drive installed, I need to re-download the software.  I have searched the site extensively and have not found information about how to do this.  

Please provide detailed information about how to download the software.  Answers to an earlier question included a URL to a site for the trial version of software.  When I clicked on the link, however, I was redirected to a page for purchasing full versions of the software. 

Please help.  Thank you.

While getting a new trial will work, a more direct link to obtain the download package again is;

    Edit your post to remove the Key

    This is a public site, any Key posted will be abused and MS will eventually block it.

    Assuming you key is verified, download/save the installtion file, then copy that installtion file to external media, together with your Key

    Then run that installation file
