After updating to Windows 11, my MS Office disappeared and must pay for it

[KayC123]

I upgraded my HP from Windws 10 to Windows 11.  My system was bundled with MS Office.  When I go to use WOrd or Excel, it wants me to purchase Office 365.  How can they do that?

@KayC123 , welcome to the Community.

Unless you purchased MS Office when you bought the computer it is a value-added software furnished by Microsoft.  Therefore, you don't actually have a license to use it.  You will have to pay to replace it.  HP has no license rights to MS Office.
