    which office is better for MS tool kit to activate permanently?
    office 2010 or 2013? which works better?

    i can't really see no performance difference between 32bit and 64bit.
    so should i just download 32bit?

    Either one or the other, don't matter. As long as they are VL.

    Yep, I know this. 32-bit is just fine for both OS architectures.

    Preferences :D. Office 2010 is still the old layout where Office 2013 introduced the ribbon layout and some other changes.

    Exactly. A huge part of the Office user's productivity comes from the familiarity of the exact locations of the features and settings. Changing the UI was not a good idea. If you have to root around in the UI trying to find a particular setting, your overall productivity goes down the tubes.

    64 bit might have some advantages for a power user - large databases in Access, extensive number crunching in Excel, etc. Regular users will not see any difference.

    I would go x64 except where a needed plug-in or add-in is NOT available in that bitness - and with the most recent version for the same reason.

    I thought the same - except for two particular uses - PDF conversions (Word) and 2+ large non-Exchange mailboxes (Outlook). I hardly use Excel, and I don't use Access at all (most of what I normally WOULD use Access for I now use, of all things, SQL Server for - mostly due to both SQL Server Express and better tools for working with SQL Server-based databases, even in smaller sizes). PDF conversion is intensive (and CPU intensive at that) when you are talking multipage documents; large mailboxes are also handled better by x64 mail applications; however, neither is something a typical user would do a lot of. I'm not a typical power user - however, I know that, as typical power users don't have Word and Outlook as their most-used Office applications. It's still horses for courses.
