Transfer Office 2007 to a new PC

Solved

Hello,
As a teacher, I was able to download Microsoft Office 2007 Pro for free last year. At that time, I only kept the installation key.
I just bought a netbook (Eee PC 1001PX) running Windows 7 and I would like to install Office 2007 on it. Since Office 2010 is already pre-installed, I tried to activate it with the Office 2007 security key but of course, it tells me that it's not valid. I then tried to copy the Microsoft Office folder from my old PC and paste it onto the netbook via USB stick (no CD drive on the Eee PC) but I already had to search through all the folders one by one to find the icons for PowerPoint, Excel, etc., and I can't open the applications...
What should I do?
I obviously don't want to buy Office 2010, and I'm struggling with OpenOffice and not very keen on relearning how to use these programs...

Thank you in advance for your response!

Configuration: Windows 7 / Firefox 3.6.10

Hello
You cannot copy and paste 2007, as there will be no registry key for 2007 on your new PC, and it's normal that it doesn't work.
You need to perform an installation after uninstalling 2010.
If you downloaded 2007, you should still have the installation file on your old PC?

Well, I've searched everywhere in the Microsoft Office folder, but I couldn't find anything that looks like an installation file...
But your message just gave me an idea, I'll check my downloads folder, maybe that installation file is still there, by some miracle... ;-)
Thanks for the quick response, anyway!!

If you no longer have it, go to the link I provided, it should work.
