I have 2007 preloaded on my laptop which I intend to upgrade. How do I transfer this seeing as I don't have an original disc? Do I just download a new version and put in my existing product key?

Your product key will only work with a specific version and flavour of Office (i.e. Office 2007 Professional, Office 2007 Home & Student will need different product keys).

So presumably this upgrade will be a different version, so you will need to buy a new retail copy.

By preloaded I'm guessing it's an OEM version so it lives and dies on that hardware - i.e. not transferable. You should be able to upgrade it to whatever version you wish so long as it's on the same hardware. Probably.
