Summary
Before upgrading Windows, verify that all existing applications are compatible and research upgrade issues. This is especially true if you don't have the installation disks because an application came pre-installed or a Trial version was activated.
If installing a new version of Office, uninstall the current version first. If installing Office on a computer for the first time, uninstall any trial version of Office that may have come with the computer and was never activated.
You may see references to the Windows Compatibility Center in the above charts. Unfortunately, Microsoft removed this online tool. Also, the support dates listed above refer to Microsoft's Extended Support. See Difference between Extended Support and Mainstream Support for more information.
