Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (32-bit)

I just bought an HP computer, and whenever I try and open Word it's saying I need to activate. For the last HP I got 2 years ago, I didn't have to buy office, it was already on there. Do we have to buy it now? And is there a one time fee or do we have to pay yearly? 

 

Thank you!

Welcome to HP Support Forum. No, that is a trial version, not free. If you wish to use the product you have to pay Microsoft to get a key. Depending on your option, you can pay yearly or just once.

 

HP and other vendors used to supply Microsoft Office 2010 Starter for free but this is no longer available. Please try
