    I upgraded my Acer laptop running Windows 7 to Windows 8. Everything seemed to have went well until I went to open a word document to edit and I it wouldn't open. It wanted me to look for an app to open it. The Word 365 home premium that was preinstalled on my laptop is now missing. I never backed up my programmes thinking there wouldn't be a problem. Anyway it's there anything I can to to get it back?. Contact Microsoft?, Acer?
    In the meantime I downloaded a trial of Windows word 2013.
    Any help / advice would be much appreciated.
    Thanks

    If you're running Office 365, just go back to Office.com and get the installer again.

    Log in with the Live account you paid for 365 on and fetch the installer, or if you know the product key, download the trial and punch it in.
