Hello -Adams-,
Computer manufacturers often install a trial version of Microsoft Office.
If you are getting a prompt to type in a Product Key when opening a Microsoft Office program, it is likely the trial period is over and you'll need to purchase a license (Full Version) for Microsoft Office.
The product key affixed to your computer is for Microsoft Windows (the operating system) and not for Microsoft Office. If a Full version of Office was specificly to be included in the Laptop, the Product Key would be printed
in the documentation included with the computer.
If you are sure your Laptop was supposed to come with a Full Version of Office and are still unable to find the Product key, please contact
the Manufacturer of the computer or the Retailer that sold the computer.
Please review the following for additional information:
