Hi James,

Thank you for contacting Microsoft Community. Your interest in Windows 10 Technical Preview is much appreciated.

YES, Office 2007 is compatible with Windows 10, I suggest you to follow the link Compatibility centerand check if it helps.

However, you may upgrade to the latest Office version.

Hope this information was helpful and do let us know if you need further assistance. We will be glad to assist.

    Thanks Brian for this. I read that also and it was part of the reason I decided to switch to Win 10, but the Microsoft Technician I talked to yesterday said there were problems and recommended the upgrade. I pointed out the inconsistency but he said he couldn't do anything about it. As I'm a computer user and not a technician I felt in a bind and decided to go with the upgrade. Not a happy chappie!

    It's true that Office 2007 end of life was October 9, 2012, but I'll quote this, from Which versions of Office work with Windows 10?, which is an official Microsoft web page:

    "Office 2007 (Version 12) is no longer part of mainstream support and hasn't been tested on Windows 10. However, Office 2007 will install and run on Windows 10."

    So, I'm not sure your ISP is accurate.

    I have had problems with Outlook 2007 running on Windows 10 for the last week and finally, with the help of my internet service provider, narrowed it down to incompatibility issues between Windows 10 and Outlook 2007 (I have no problems with emails on my Apple devices).

    Despite advice to the contrary on this web page, Microsoft Technical Support advised that they no longer support Office 2007 and could not help resolve the matter. They advised that only option was to upgrade to a newer version of Office, which I have done, and the problem has disappeared - however it cost $299!

    I'm most unhappy that the information provided here (and elsewhere) is incorrect as I checked before upgrading  only a couple of weeks ago to ensure their were no incompatibility with my most used programs.
