This is kind of a crap shoot. Whether or not your system will work depends upon whether or not the hardware is compatible. You are most likely to have problems with the video driver if the office system is using a different video chipset from your home system. First, backup your system drive, then try it. If it works, then fine. If not, then you are probably ok, but having the backup will assure you of that. By a system disc backup, I mean a complete bit image of the disc, stored to an external drive after booting from a linux recovery or live CD/DVD/USB disc.
