Processes in Microsoft 365 for setting up Office apps, redeeming product keys, and activating licenses.
To reinstall Office 2013 on a new laptop using an existing product key, follow these steps supported in the context:
- If Office is still installed on the old computer and the license allows only one PC, uninstall Office there first.
- On the new laptop, go to the Office download page for older versions and reinstall Office 2013 using the guidance under “Office 2019, Office 2016, or Office 2013.” Use the article referenced here: Download and install or reinstall Office 2019, Office 2016, or Office 2013.
- During installation or first launch of an Office app, enter the Office 2013 product key when prompted and complete activation.
If Office 2013 was originally obtained as part of a Microsoft 365 subscription, note that Office 2013 is no longer available for installation from the subscription portal; in that case, use the newer Office version included with the subscription instead.
