## Remarks

- wmic.exe tool is removed from Windows 11 build 22483 and later

In order to overcome this, the converter incorporate simple VBScripts to query and execute WMI functions

This require Windows Script Host to be working and not disabled

- On Windows 7, Office C2R 16.0 licensing service require Universal C Runtime to work correctly

- UCRT is available in the latest Monthly Rollup, or the separate update KB3118401

- Additionally, Office programs themselves require recent Windows 7 updates to start properly

- While Office 2021 can be installed on Windows 7, it will not function or work properly

## Office 2019/2021

- Office 2019/2021 products are officially blocked on Windows 7 and 8.1  
to workaround that, use the following steps

- If you want Office Professional Plus:  
1) install Office 2016 SKU ProPlusRetail  
2) run C2R-R2V.cmd

- Additionally, if you want Project and/or Visio:  
1) install desired Office 2016 SKU: ProjectProRetail, ProjectStdRetail, VisioProRetail, VisioStdRetail  
2) run C2R-R2V.cmd

## Manual advanced options:

- To run the process in debug mode "with" conversion  
edit C2R-R2V.cmd and set _Debug=1

- To run the process in debug mode "without" conversion  
edit C2R-R2V.cmd and set _Cnvrt=0
