How to install Office 2013 in Windows 8 CP

[Achilleas]

I am using Windows 7 since past 2 years but now as Windows 8 is launching in next 2 months, am actually trying to get prepared for the same. i'll buy a copy of windows 8 and want to make a system with completely new latest apps and softwares. So, before that i want to use Office 2013 as well and experience its new features.

Hence i dual booted my W7 with Windows 8 (on second partition) and want to install new office 2013 preview as well. Could you guys please let me know how to do the same ? I dont have any idea about it. Thanks.

Process is very simple friend. Just follow the below steps:

1. Launch your Browser and visit to this URL: http://www.microsoft.com/office/preview/en
   
2. Now select Options from Home, Business or Enterprises, and click on Sign Up.
   
   
   
   
3. Fill up the form with your details and create a account.
4. Once you created your account, go to http://portal.microsoftonline.com/ and login with the ID you just created.
5. You will find few options, just click on Download Software admin shortcut.
6. Now just click on "install" options. This will download a small installer which after run will download the actual Office 2013.

Remember that Office 2013 is still in beta and you will need to buy once it is release din Final version. Also note that in order to use this office you DON'T need to remove your existing Office. This is designed to work simultaneously along with your existing office. Thats the very good part.
