I have a Dell laptop that I'm trying to install Office on. I deleted the trial program and downloaded the software from VLC. I installed from that download and everything seemed to go okay but there is no icon on the desktop. It doesn't show up in Programs or anything.<br />
<br />
I first tried Office 2013 Pro Plus. Since that didn't work, I tried Office 2010. &nbsp;That didn't work either. In Windows Explorer I see the program folder but there are no executable files there either.

Windows 8 is a personal computer operating system developed by Microsoft as part of the Windows NT family of operating systems, with an emphasis on improving its user experience on tablets. In particular, these changes included a touch-optimized Windows shell based on Microsoft's "Metro" design language, the Start screen, a new platform for developing apps with an emphasis on touchscreen input, integration with online services, support for USB 3.0, Advanced Format hard drives, near field communications, and cloud computing. Additional security features were introduced, such as built-in antivirus software, integration with Microsoft SmartScreen phishing filtering service and support for UEFI Secure Boot on supported devices with UEFI firmware.
