Hi @JessieB20,

Welcome to the HP Support Community.
 

Thank you for posting your query. I will be glad to help you.

If your HP laptop includes Microsoft Office 365, you’ll need to activate it using the steps below:

How to Activate Microsoft Office 365 on Your HP Laptop

1. Confirm Office is Preinstalled

• Click Start > All Apps.
• Look for Microsoft Office or Word, Excel, and PowerPoint.
• If not installed, download from Microsoft Office.

2. Sign In with Your Microsoft Account

• Open any Office app (e.g., Word).
• When prompted, sign in with your Microsoft account.
• If you don’t have one, create it at account.microsoft.com.

3. Enter Your Product Key

• Check your HP laptop packaging or email for the Office 365 product key.
• Go to office.com/setup.
• Enter the key and follow the prompts to activate.

4. Verify Subscription

• After activation, go to File > Account in any Office app.
• Ensure it shows Microsoft 365 Subscription – Activated.

5. Update Office

• Open any Office app → Account > Update Options > Update Now.
• This ensures compatibility with Windows 11.
