  • MS Office wants to move me halfway around the world...

    Got new computer and have gone to load in MS Office. Added product key-no problem. Next section is 'Choose region'-for some reason the only option that comes up is Zimbabwe! Is there any way to change it to the correct one,or if I do proceed with it,is it going to create any problems if it's showing I'm registered in Zimbabwe?

    Have you used that Key before? This suggests that the Key is for an edition that is locked to Zimbabwe. Contact MS Support if not.

      This was the key that was supplied to me when I purchased MS Office as an add-on to the new computer at the store. Everything including the card with the Key on is fresh out of the box.

        Yeah, contact MS about that one. Scan your purchase receipt in, as they might want proof. Even if there are no shenanigans going on at the store side, they'd want to know if a reseller got the wrong codes/packages sent to them.
