Installation and License Key Options

Some of the ways to “get” Office Software:

An "offer" to try the software, in other words.  The license is NOT included in Trial offers.

1. Purchase Microsoft Office when you purchase your computer

Look for your license key with your purchase paperwork.

1. Receive a “free one year subscription to Office 365 when you purchase the computer (quite rare). 

If you have trouble with this exact type of “installed” Office before it has expired,

Contact HP Support for recovery options.
