Hello all, I bought my dell laptop with win 7 and MS Office 2010.  I later upgraded from win7 to win 8.  My system became unstable and I did a refresh of the laptop.  I now need to reinstall MS Office 2010.  I have the activation key but I have to get the installation files.  My dell downloads was no help. Any advice on where to get the installation files?
