Welcome to HP Support Community.
Thank you for posting your query, I will be glad to help you.
To activate Microsoft Office 2021 on your HP Laptop 15s-fq2672TU, follow these steps:
1. Check for Pre-installed Office 2021
Your HP laptop may have Office 2021 pre-installed, but it may not be activated yet. Let’s confirm whether it's already installed.
- Open an Office App (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, etc.) on your laptop. If the Office 2021 apps are installed, they should appear in the Start Menu.
- If you can open the app (e.g., Microsoft Word), check if it prompts you for activation. If it does, proceed with the steps below.
2. Activation via Microsoft Account
Most versions of Office require activation via a Microsoft account. If you have an Office 2021 license key (from a physical or digital purchase), you’ll need to enter it during activation.
Steps to Activate Office 2021:
Open any Office 2021 Application:
- Click on Start and search for an Office app, such as Word or Excel.
- Launch the app.
Activate Office 2021:
- When you open the app, you should be prompted with an activation window.
- Sign in with your Microsoft account. If you don’t have one, you will be asked to create one.
Enter Product Key (if required):
- If prompted for a product key, enter the 25-character product key that came with your Office 2021 purchase. You should have received this key either in an email or on the packaging if you bought a physical copy.
Complete Activation:
- Follow the prompts to complete the activation process. If your device is connected to the internet, the activation should complete successfully.
3. If Office 2021 Came with Your Laptop (OEM Version):
If the laptop came with pre-installed Office 2021 (as part of the purchase), the activation may have already occurred automatically once you logged into Windows.
- Sign into Windows: Ensure that you are logged into Windows 10/11 with the same Microsoft account you used for Office 365 or your Office 2021 purchase.
- Office should activate in the background. If it's still asking for activation, proceed to manually activate it by signing in to the Microsoft account or entering the product key (as mentioned abov
I hope this helps.
Take care and have a good day.
