Q: 'Can I save the Microsoft Office installation to an external hard drive and run the application from it? I have a laptop with a solid state drive of 30GB memory. Microsoft Office has installed on the system, taking considerable disk space. I am wondering if it could be uninstalled from the laptop and installed on an external hard drive.'

A: 'When you install software it will create registry items within the Windows folders, which are on the main drive, usually the C drive.

So, if you wish to save disk space by installing the large-size Microsoft Office 2003, 2007, 2010, 2013, 2016 and Office 365, to somewhere else other than the local drive, and be able to run an application from an external drive, make it happen in the other way.

• Use the normal way to completely download and install the desired Office version on your computer.
• Transfer the whole installation from the PC storage to the wanted place via EaseUS Todo PCTrans.
• Uninstall the Office from your computer in the control panel > programs > uninstall a program.
• In the end, open and run the Office application whenever you need by connecting the external drive to your computer.

Here is how to start the Office transfer from a PC to an external hard drive/USB drive:

First, download and install EaseUS Todo PCTrans. (Click the download button on your PC, where the Microsoft Office is installed. EaseUS transfer software is very light and small. You can quickly install it in a few seconds.)

Then, move your MS Office to the external storage device:

Step 1. Connect the external device and select the transfer mode.

• Connect your external storage device (external hard drive, USB, SD card, and more) to your PC.
• Launch EaseUS Todo PCTrans and go to 'App Migration' > 'Start'.

Step 2. Select Microsoft Office and set the storage path.

• Select the drive where you have installed Microsoft Office on and select Microsoft Office.
• Click 'Browse' and choose to transfer the application to your external storage device.
• Click 'Transfer' to start transferring Microsoft Office to an external storage medium.
