Did you still have your old computer? If so and if you still have the
original disk, you may be able to use the old version on your new computer.
Then again you may not, it depends on the copy of Word you had. Word 98
will work on the XP, but the copy you had on the old machine may have had a
limited license for just that machine.

You can buy a new copy of Word. I suggest getting a current version, it
will read and work with your old files just fine.

Word is not part of Windows. You have to buy the program and install it.
The vendor that sold you the old computer may have included Word, legally or
illegally, but your new computer vendor did not.

Greetings --

1) Go to store/shop that sells computer software.

2) Purchase either Microsoft Word or a Microsoft Office suite.

3) Return home.

4) Insert installation CD in PC's CD drive and follow the on-screen
prompts and instructions to install application and desired additional
features.

Neither the Microsoft Office application suite, nor any of its
individual component applications (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Access,
Outlook, etc.), have _ever_ been "part" of *any* Windows operating
system. They are, and always have been, separate applications, that
must be purchased and installed separately.
