Office 2007 key doesn't work with 2010

[Cheezey]

Hi, I just got a new laptop and I need to get Office. My friend has an extra copy of Office 2007 and he sent me the product key. I have a 2010 free trial, but since the key is for 2007, it doesn't work. I can't find a download for 2007 on Microsoft's website. Is 2007 still available? If so, where can I get it?

Thanks!

I already have a key (yes, it's legit) , so I don't really want to spend lots of money on new software.

The key you received from your friend is for  Office 2007, not 2010.  This is clearly indicated by the fact the key didn't work for you when you attempted to use it with the 2010 free trial.  You can't just take a product key from any version of Office and use it with another version.

My friend has an extra copy of Office 2007 and he sent me the product key.

If your friend really has an extra copy of Office 2007, then he/she should provide it (the sofware) to you, not just the key for it.  If your friend does not want to do that, then I'd say they don't really have "an extra copy". 

... so I don't really want to spend lots of money on new software.

Then, then try the free LibreOffice.
