Hi there, I’m Arlene, an independent advisor — thanks for reaching out

Can you tell me how you got your copy of Windows or Office was it pre-installed, bought online, or from a store?

If it was pre-installed, the key is usually built into your device and activates automatically. If you bought it from the Microsoft Store, you can find your key or license by signing in at account.microsoft.com. For Office, go to office.com/myaccount.

Hope it helps, please let me know if you need further assistance.

Regards,

Arlene D.
