Operating System: Microsoft Windows 11

I accidently removed the Office Home & Student, which came pre-installed with my laptop. I am unable to re-install it. Microsoft download center is asking for a product key which I dont have. 

also, HP India support is un-reachable as I am out of warranty!

Please help...

@Thenga 

That was a SERIOUS mistake -- and one that you most likely will NOT be able to correct.

 

HP does not provide separate downloads of the MS Office versions that come preloaded, and since those are special OEM versions, you can't get them from MS, either.

 

Also, the version that comes preloaded is a TRIAL version and does not use or need a product key.

 

I suggest you look into LibreOffice as a free replacement.  I have been using it for some months now and find it handles my Excel spreadsheets and MS Word documents without any issues.  It also has a Powerpoint replacement.
