Hello
I was gifted with this laptop, and the product key for ms office downstairs seems to be invalid. When I entered the key, it said invalid key. How to solve the problem?
If the key was on the laptop, then it is very likely that the key is for your Windows operating system installed.
I have not heard a laptop computer with a key of Microsoft Office on this subject, anywhere.

Product key for windows 7 not readable MS
The sticker for the product key for MS windows 7 is outlined and 2 characters are not readable. What should I do to be able to reinstall windows?
Hello:
You will need to buy a set of recovery disc for your laptop.
Generally, recovery disks do not require the use of the product key.
HP and Microsoft will issue a replacement product key to you, nor do they keep a specific record of product on PC keys.
If you can not buy a set of recovery disc for your model, you will need to purchase a new full retail or the OEM version of windows 7.

How can I find the product key for microsoft office which is preloaded on my HP TouchSmart PC?
Trying to replace Office 2003 with Office 2010, which came preloaded on my HP TouchSmart PC, but he keeps invites me for a product key...
When you request support, please provide the number of name and/or product of comprehensive model of the HP computer in question. HP/Compaq made thousands of computer models which are all different. Without this information, it can be difficult, even impossible to help you solve your problem.
As a general rule, the Microsoft Office product comes with most HP computers is a trial version or reduced functionality. Unless you paid extra for a version full of Office, it is unlikely that you have or that you will find a valid product key for Office.
Please send Bravo
