    Windows 10 with Excel 2003

    I just bought a new computer, but when I tried to load on my MS office / excel, it would not work.
    I understand it can not run on the new windows 10 The problem is all of my work files (excel files
    with some VBAs and Macros) were made on MS Office 2003. So, two questions.....
    1) Is there any way to get my excel 2003 to load up on my new computer?
    2) If I cant, will my older excel files work OK with the newer versions of MS office / excel?

    Thanks for any help. Richard

    Hi Richard,

    You should be able to install and run Excel 2003 by using compatibility mode.

    And it's probably time to invest in a more recent version, though I wouldn't necessarily go for the latest version. I have 2007 and 2010 on my computers and they're OK. And the newer versions WILL be able to open your .xls files.

    Yes, I tried that but it still did not load.
    I read that, even in compatibly mode, it will not work.
