I have changed my SSD, and now I'm not able to download and access MS Office. I can open Office application with which I'm able to open documents in browser. Please help !!

Hi John,
Thank you for trying to help find the solution, but I'm afraid you missed. I'm not able to download Ms Office, that means my device does not have any option to select Word or Excel when I go to Open With list.

Apologies for jumping in unannounced.
Thanks, John.
The name of the Office software is included in the Specifications document:
HP Pavilion x360 14-dh0107tu Product Specifications
The first time you registered and opened your Office software, the key you provided was registered with Microsoft.
In my experience, Microsoft does not lose track of registered keys.
Options:
When you purchased the Office software -- or it was included with the computer --
If you purchased the computer from HP --
The key would have been included with the purchase confirmation / order email for the device (or software).
Look for the key in your documentation.
OR
Ask Microsoft for help.
Be prepared to provide proof that you are the registered owner of the software.

Installation and License Key Options
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.
