Hi

I have been using a laptop running Windows 7 Professional with Office 2007 (Home & Student), plus Windows Live Mail.

I have just bought a new laptop (yippee!), with Windows 8.1. I have installed Office 2007, which is fine, and have tried setting up Outlook.com the same as Live Mail, but am struggling with it.

Should I buy Office 2010 / 2013 Professional (including Outlook), which will hopefully give me a more familiar environment? I don't mind spending the £££ if it gets me to where I want to be, rather than wasting my time struggling with Outlook.com...

Thanks in advance for your help!

Mike
