I purchased new Spectre 13" laptop (model 13-aw2003dx) last week. Is MS Office package available free or I have to buy it separately? What is the best way to buy it? Thanks!

In most every instance any mention of Microsoft Office software on a new computer is a "Trial" offer.
These days, Microsoft really pushes Office 365 - this is a subscription model. Like other subscriptions, it's a monthly / yearly commitment to keep the software going. At last check you can still purchase Microsoft Office 2019 as a permanent single computer license. Personal choice...

Some of the ways to “get” Office Software:
- Trial Software that comes with the computer.
An "offer" to try the software, in other words. The license is NOT included in Trial offers.
- 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 before it has expired,
Contact HP Support for recovery options.
- Purchase Office separately from Microsoft or other merchant.
