If I buy Microsoft Office 2010 and Microsoft Office 2013 comes out right afterwards, can I return the older version of the program for the new one?
In general, most stores will only accept software returned for a refund if the box is still sealed and the program has not been installed. Microsoft has an explanation of its own returns and refunds policy on its site.
The new version, Microsoft Office 2013, is expected very soon — possibly by the end of the month. If you need the software and just cannot wait for the newest version to arrive, however, Microsoft has an offer than allows you upgrade to Office 2013 for free even if you buy Office 2010 now.
Microsoft Office 2010 (or Office 2011 for the Mac) software purchased between October 19, 2012, and April 30, 2013, is generally eligible for the upgrade. You can find full details on the Office 2013 offer here.
