Hp Officejet: Home And Student Essentials

HP Office Home and Student is a Microsoft Office package that can be purchased alongside an HP laptop or separately from Microsoft or another merchant. It includes Microsoft Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and OneNote, and is available for both PC and Mac. The package is licensed and controlled by Microsoft.

HP Office Home and Student 2021 is available for PC or Mac

There are a few ways to obtain the HP Office Home and Student software. One way is to purchase it when you buy your HP computer. The license key should be included with your purchase paperwork. Alternatively, you may receive a free one-year subscription to Office 365 when you purchase your HP computer, although this is quite rare. If you are unsure whether you have received the software with your purchase, you can check the model specifications or contact HP Support for assistance.

If you are having trouble activating the software, there are a few things you can try. First, check if you have the activation key, which should be printed on a slip or sticker included with your laptop. You can also try contacting Microsoft customer support or HP technical support for further assistance.

It is important to note that sometimes, the "Office Home and Student" sticker on HP laptops may indicate a trial version of the software. In such cases, the license is not included, and you would need to purchase the software separately.

The HP Community is a valuable resource for HP product owners, empowering them to find solutions, share tips, and connect with other users and HP support for a more personalized experience.

You can activate Microsoft Office Home and Student using the Activation Wizard

To activate Microsoft Office Home and Student, you can use the Activation Wizard. Here's a step-by-step guide on how to do it:

Step 1: Open any Microsoft Office Application

Open any Microsoft Office application on your Windows PC or Mac. This can include Microsoft Word, PowerPoint, or Excel. You can find these applications in a folder called Microsoft Office in your Start menu or Applications folder.

Step 2: Sign In to Your Microsoft Account

If Office isn't activated, you'll be prompted to sign in to your Microsoft account. Click on the "Sign In" button and enter your login credentials. Make sure to use the Microsoft account associated with your Office purchase or product key registration.

Step 3: Follow the Activation Wizard Prompts

Once you're signed in, the Microsoft Office Activation Wizard will guide you through the activation process. Select the option to activate the software over the Internet, as this is the recommended method. Then, simply follow the on-screen instructions to complete the activation.

Step 4: Enter Your Email Address and Password

The Activation Wizard will prompt you to enter your email address and password. Use the email address connected to your Microsoft account and enter your password. Once you've signed in, Microsoft will verify your purchase and activate Office immediately.

Important Notes:

• If you have an Office 365 subscription, you won't need to follow this activation process. Simply sign in with the Microsoft account you used to subscribe, and you're all set.
• If you purchased a retail version of Microsoft Office, you need to link the 25-digit product key included with your purchase to your Microsoft account before activating.
• Make sure you have an active Internet connection before attempting to activate Office.
• If you're activating Office on a new device or after reinstalling Windows, you may need to download and install the Office applications again before proceeding with the activation.

Trial versions of Microsoft Office are available with some HP laptops

Microsoft Office is not included with HP Office and Home and Student. However, some HP laptops do come with a free trial of Microsoft Office. This is usually a 1-month trial of MS Office 365 for new customers. After the trial period, you have the option to purchase a subscription to Microsoft 365, which will need to be renewed annually.

Alternatively, you can purchase a perpetual license of Microsoft Office Home and Student, which will not expire and can be moved to another computer if needed. This option is available for around $125.

If you are unable to activate your trial of Microsoft Office, the activation key should be printed on a slip or sticker included with your laptop. You can also try contacting HP or Microsoft customer support for further assistance.

It is important to note that HP would never offer a free version of Microsoft Office. Therefore, if you require a free alternative, you may consider OpenOffice, which provides compatible versions of Word, Excel, and PowerPoint, among other similar software.

HP Support can help with Office Home and Student recovery options

There are a few ways to "get" Office Software. If you have a trial version, you can purchase and activate your Office Software at Microsoft. If you purchased Microsoft Office when you bought your computer, look for your license key with your purchase paperwork. If you received a free one-year subscription to Office 365 when you bought your computer, contact HP Support for recovery options if you have trouble with this type of "installed" Office before it has expired.

If you have reset your PC and lost Office Home and Student 2019 and its product key, you can attempt to recover them by ordering a recovery media or downloading it using the steps provided in the HP Support Community.

If you are having trouble activating your preloaded Microsoft Office Home and Student, the activation key for Office should be printed on a slip/sticker that came with your laptop in the HP carton. You can also contact HP technical support for further assistance.
