Welcome to the HP User Community.
I don't have a reference for this exact model that includes any mention of it having installed Office Software.
The models that I can check (about ten models) indicate - where mention is made at all - that any included Office software is a Trial version.
My understanding:
Trial "free" use of the software is limited - if the trial is concluded or if you manage to remove the software - you have to purchase the software to continue using it.
Regardless, Microsoft owns and completely controls Microsoft products, including their Office software.
If you had a license for the software, then during first use, Microsoft would have registered the software for your use.
In so much that I am aware, Microsoft has not lost a license registration - could happen, I guess.
Contact Microsoft for help.
What else?
If you received an Office software license when you purchased the computer,
If you purchased the computer from HP,
Check in the HP order confirmation email for mention of the license and the key.

Installation and License Key Options
Some of the ways to “get” Office Software:
- Trial Software that comes with the computer.
An "offer" to try the software, in other words. The license is NOT included in Trial offers.
- Purchase Microsoft Office when you purchase your computer
Look for your license key with your purchase paperwork.
- 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.
- Purchase Office separately from Microsoft or other merchant.

Hello @AftaabORAF
Use <The Free and Open Productivity Suite> OpenOffice
Official Download - Apache OpenOffice
This suite replaces Microsoft Office and does it very well.
Good luck
