Hi, i am currently planning on upgrading my computer and i plan on using an SSD as the boot up drive, i will be getting a new version of windows for this as i am currently only using 32 bit. however i have office on my current drive which i would want to use and hopefully not buy again, i will be using my current hard drive as a slave drive for files on the computer once i have the SSD in it but i do not know whether office will run from the slave drive without putting it onto the boot drive which i dont think would work, or if there is a way of copying the license and stuff over to the boot drive so i can run it in the new OS

"Cloning" is not applicable if the user is going from 32bit to 64bit.
Full reinstall, including applications (Office).

Assuming you still have the license key, reinstall after the new OS.

Not bound to any particular drive, motherboard, or system.
If you have the valid license key, reinstall as needed with the new OS.
