The Specifications indicate the software is included - it does Not say the software includes a license key.
Software - Productivity & finance | Microsoft® Office Home & Student 2019 |
Another source indicates that a Trial version of Office 365 might be included (possibly a newer document for the product description).
Software - Productivity & Finance | 1 month trial for new Microsoft Office 365 customers |
Regardless, there is nothing our Community can do - we have absolutely no visibility into Sales.
If you don't have a license key that was either provided to you when you purchased the computer - or a license key from Microsoft for having purchased the Office Software, the software is not going to activate. You have to have a license to activate any recent version of Microsoft Office.
If you are convinced that you purchased Office with the computer, please contact HP Support.
HP Support cannot likely provide you with a key "after the fact" - but the representative can clarify what should have been included with your purchase.
