@kriti33 Here's all you need to know about activating the Microsoft office program:

Microsoft Office is a collection of applications for personal and business productivity, such as Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and OneNote.

Office comes preinstalled on many HP computers with Windows 10. After you purchase an HP computer with Windows 10, you can:

• Activate an Office 365 subscription or free trial.

• Activate Office 2016 or 2013.

• Install an older version of Office.

• Buy Office from the Microsoft Store.

Office 365 and Office 2016 might activate automatically. Open the Office installer or application (Word, Excel), and then follow the on-screen prompts to activate Office.

NOTE: 

If you have any issues activating Office, download and install Reset MS Office AFO and AFOLB Settings – CPS (sp78285.exe), and then open any Office application to restart the activation process.

For more information about activating Office, see the Microsoft document Activate Office 365, Office 2016, or Office 2013 (in English).

@kriti33 Perhaps, you can create a new user account and check if that works as it's most likely an issue with the current user profile, as it should work without these issues, if nothing helps, you may need to reset the device after a data backup as there's no physical product key as such available, it's all encrypted on the device.
