I accidently uninstalled my Microsoft Office Program. How can I restore it?

[Seanymph1]

I recently received an update from Microsoft which upgraded my Office program.  I had Office 2019 and so when I clinked on an existing document I kept getting a window that stated that Microsoft updated my program and won't allow me to open my existing document unless I uninstalled update and somehow reverted back to my original version.  I got confused and mistakably uninstalled my original version.  Now I have no Office program.  How can I recover my original Office version?

Installation and License Key Options

Some of the ways to “get” Office Software:

1. Trial Software that comes with the computer. 

An "offer" to try the software, in other words.  The license is NOT included in Trial offers.

1. Purchase Microsoft Office when you purchase your computer

Look for your license key with your purchase paperwork.

1. 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 before it has expired,

Contact HP Support for recovery options.

1. Purchase Office separately from Microsoft or other merchant.
