Hi,

Unless you've changed something, no need to activate your machine. The key is in the BIOS of your machine, please use the following tool to get it:

When run this tool, it produces a report, scroll down to Software Management section. Windows 8/ 8.1 or 10 product key is in there.

You can also use the following tool to find out:

Belarc and Jellybean are good products and provide a great deal of useful information.

If you do not find the information you seek in the program output, consider:

Windows 10 does not automatically come with Microsoft Office software. 

Microsoft Office is available either as a subscription service (Office 365) or (as of this writing) a stand-alone program set that you purchase for a "one time' price (Office 2016).

I would guess from looking at the Specifications, that your Office software is not an actual full, purchased version of the Microsoft Office software and is, instead, either a Trial version or perhaps a link / offer for you to purchase the Office software from Microsoft.

Trial software (if some form of Office is installed) is temporary -- you must purchase the software in order to activate the suite of Office programs.

If you have not yet purchased Microsoft Office , you can purchase the Office suite from Microsoft -- or you might opt to download a free "Office" program alternative: LibreOffice or OpenOffice

If you purchased the computer (and Microsoft Office) from HP.com at the time of purchase, then you should contact HP Technical Support and talk to a Post Sales specialist who can look up your purchase details.
