How to activate pre installed office on windows 10

[SeanOniel]

HI

I bought a new HP Pavilion x360 Convertible, running on windows 10. Microsoft office and Mcafee antivirus are not activated, running trial version. Both are pre-installed. MSOffice needs to be activated, how to do that? do i had to purchase it? Mcafee says to buy. Aren't these productssupposed to be free and fully  functional or activated.

Hi! @SeanOniel,

Please share the product number of the PC to assist you better.
 

Update windows to the latest version and check if it helps.

Open the Settings App (gear icon on your Start Menu) 

Go to Update and Security - Windows Updates 
 
Also, Please try the steps recommended below.

To resolve this issue, go through the MS Office activation process to get the correct product upgraded.

Hi! @SeanOniel,

Thanks for sharing the product details.

I have checked the product details and found that a trial version of Microsoft office was shipped with the PC. 

1 month trial for new Microsoft Office 365 customers. As the trial period has ended it is asking you to purchase the software.

Refer the product specifications page of your laptop for more information. Click Here

Hope this answers your query!

Take Care! 🙂

Hi! @SeanOniel,

Thanks for writing back again.

I have checked the records even the Mcafee is trial software. You need to purchase the subscription to activate it.

To activate Mcafee antivirus software try the steps recommended below.

Log in to your McAfee account.
At the top of your My Account page, select My Account and then click Subscriptions.
Click All expired to see your expired subscriptions. Or click View active to see your subscriptions that have not yet expired.
Look for the subscription you want to renew and click Renew.

Also, as an alternate, you can use built-in windows defender a  free antivirus and firewall program.

Refer this article to know more information about using Windows defender program. Click Here

Hope this helps!

Take Care! 🙂
