I have bought a second hand notebook with ! GB memory and 160 HDD, what version of office can I install, and how do I obtain it?

I'll be the first to say that 1 Gig of RAM isn't that much. If you feel the system is going slow you might want to look into upgrading that. Hopefully the 160 hard drive is SSD?

For Office 2013, here are the requirements:

Computer and processor 1 gigahertz (GHz) or faster x86-bit or x64-bit processor with SSE2
Memory 1 GB RAM (32-bit); 2 GB RAM (64-bit)
Hard disk 3.0 GB available disk space
Display 1366 x 768 screen resolution
Graphics Graphics hardware acceleration requires a DirectX 10 graphics card.
Operating system Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows Server 2008 R2, or Windows Server 2012
Browser Supported browsers for Office 2013 and Office 365 (includes browser requirements for using Apps for Office and Word video playback)
.Net version 3.5, 4.0, or 4.5
Other Internet functionality requires an Internet connection. Fees may apply.

For Office 2010 (which requires less then 2013 specs), buy it here:
