How do i access my 1 year free subscription of Microsoft 365?

[amethyst1716]

I bought this Laptop and it said it has Microsoft 365 free for 1 year. I thought I had it but then it said my free trial expired. How do I get the 1 year subscription for free?

Installation and License Key Options

Three of the ways to “get” Office Software:

➡️  Purchase Microsoft Office when you purchase your computer

Look for your license key with your purchase paperwork.

➡️  ➡️  Receive a “free one year subscription to Office 365 when you purchase the computer (quite rare).  If you have trouble with this exact type of “installed” Office, contact HP Support for recovery options.

➡️  Purchase Office separately from Microsoft or other merchant.

What if: 

“I found Office already installed on the computer.”

Except as noted, any “pre-installed” Office software is a “Trial” version.
Trial software cannot be activated nor can it be “recovered”.

Regardless, Microsoft Office software belongs to - and is under the control of - Microsoft.

Yeah, but - My situation is different, special, not covered, impossible
