I was happy with the version of Office suite that I had. In order to take an Excel class though, I had to purchase and install a new version of Excel -
Excel 2016.
To do this, I had to download the latest Office instead (I have Windows 7 and had an older version of Office Suite which suited me just fine - I had to use MSI-based because Click-to-Run was a problem with this older version - it interfered with other programs
on my PC).
When I let it replace the older programs, I didn't realize it wouldn't just replace the older version of Excel - it would eliminate *EVERYTHING MS Office of that age*.
I only wanted and purchased the new version of Excel (not the other programs) because I had to for this class, and did not want it to wipe my whole entire old Office Suite, all the programs - I was happy enough with those, darn it. I don't need to update
every program I have, all the time.
I cannot find a way to restore or redownload my previously purchased and happily used suite. I don't want a subscription, and I had deactivated OneNote and Outlook and other features that were unwanted.
I don't want to buy a whole new everything. Just wanted the new Excel and not the rest of it. I am way not rich. How can I get my older Office Suite back?
I cannot reach any sort of human to ask, even, without buying a subscription....this is ridiculous.
