How Can I Successfully Upgrade Microsoft Starter 2010?
It would be helpful to know the error message that you are receiving but, in any event, there are several reasons why you may be having difficulty upgrading a newer version of Microsoft Office.
As with any first step when installing a new product, make sure that your system meets the requirements of the software you are installing. With Microsoft 2010 you will need to be using one of the following operating systems:
Windows XP 32 ibt
Windows Vista 32 or 64 bit
Windows Server 2003 Windows Server 2003 with Service Pack 2
Windows Server 2008

If your system does not meet these requirements, you will need to update it before attempting the installation.
You can easily upgrade from Office Starter to another Office suite by following these simple steps:
1. In Word Starter, on the Home tab, click Purchase  and then select Buy Microsoft Office.
2. Follow the instructions provided on the Web page for purchasing an Office product.
