I have a machine (Win 7) with a fried motherboard (Lenovo Thinkpad BIOS update bricked it). The machine had a legally purchased and installed copy of MS Office 2010 Professional. I now have a new machine (Win 8.1) and want to download and install Office 2010 - I can access the hard drive from the dead machine via a sled and USB - the new machine sees it as an external drive. How do I obtain the product key ????

New Command-Line Option: /external
