SO, next Q? I have my other laptop with me - A Dell - can I remove this Toshiba HD and install the Dell HD in here and use it? It has all my programs and all my data on it already, including WDW7 - When I bought the Dell, I bought a new HD (faster and bigger) and installed a new WDW7 copy on it (I bought the discs for WDW7) and installed it direct on the new HD.
No! The Window 7 HD is registered to the DELL's hardware and drivers. You could very well get a BSOD installing it into your Toshiba. Worst yet, it may no longer even boot when placed back into your DELL. If you're lucky, a repair may restore the HD. It other cases, it will take a complete fresh reinstall.
You don't have to buy a new Office Suite. Have you tried the free, open source
Libre Office? It's compatible of most all MS files. This is what I use even-though I have Microsoft Office 2010 at work.
