    Will not work as it was a 60 day trial, they want you to purchase the software.

    If you reinstall the system from scratch (will lose anything you installed personally) you should be able to use the product for another 60 days.

    If you purchased a laptop, the factory recovery should be on a hidden drive.

    If you want to save some money try Open office. It is free and should be able to open your existing MS Works files. Link to the website follows:

    OpenOffice.org - The Free and Open Productivity Suite
