Re-download Office Home and Student 2010. I have a product key but no CD

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;

    Hello Kenvy,

    Do you have the product key for Office Home and Student 2010?

    The link which you have provided in the above post is the only link which is available for Office Home and Student 2010 download.

    Without the product key you would not be able to install Office Home and Student 2010 on the computer.

    I hope the above information helps. Let us know if you need further assistance.

    Thank you.

    Thanks for the help.  found one of the several attempts at making a copy(disc to save) just in case was useable. so solved my problem in getting MS Ofc Student 2010 reinstalled.

        my new problem is MS recognizes my password on iPad but not on the

    new setup on hP notebook with new hard drive and loaded windows 7 instead of 8.  Strange!  Some things just will not open and play on iPad so must do with notebook.  Also get tricked into downloading

    additional unwanted programs although pop ups are supposed to be blocked.  I have 3-programs which

    may not have been part of MS window 7.....pursue point, highlightly, VO package.  Do not know what they are.  Why doesn't " properties" state what the program is and from whom?  Does one really need to purchase and yearly renew a program to check the registry and correct it?!  Doesn't MS take care of that in automatic cleanup weekly?
