Specifying non-Office 365 Version as Default App

[bhujanga]

I have Office 365 but I also still have Office 2010 installed. I don't like the way 365 does certain things and so I want to use 2010 as my default app in Excel. I was able to set this up without any trouble my other computer but on my new computer, even though it shows that there are two Excel Apps, they both have the 365 symbol and so I am not able to specify the 2010 version for the default. Is there a way around this short of uninstalling 365?
Thanks.

You say they both have the same "symbol". I assume you mean that you can see both versions of Excel in the "Choose default apps by file type" screen in Control Panel. If so, are you sure they are not both pointing to 365? In other words, have you tried actually setting each of them in turn, to see if they are in fact the same version? I am not able to test this, but I would assume that one of them is 365 and the other one is 2010, even though they look the same within Control Panel.
