Unable to activate outlook in the preinstalled MS Office Home & Student edition.

[PKKurian]

I have recently purchased a HP Pavilion laptop with inbuilt MS Office home & student version. I have activated the same but outlook is not visible.

Things that are Office

Microsoft Office is a licensed product controlled and owned by Microsoft.

We can help to the extent of providing information to help you understand your options.

Microsoft Office - Product and License Information 

Please Read

 Microsoft - Activate Office

Activate Office using the Activation wizard

Includes “Activate after reinstalling or moving Office”

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.
