I purchased Dell Laptop with preinstalled Windows and MS office. i have been using this since Feb 2020 but recently i am getting pop up stating that "The copy of Microsoft office is not activated" You have 24 days to activate . Then at the bottom of the pop screen it says Error Code :0x8007007B . There is also a option to "Change Product Key". How to resolve this issue.

Would appreciate your prompt response.

    Hello Sudhir V,

    Thank you for contacting the Microsoft Support community.

    Issue is similar to the one in the below link
    https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/msoffice/forum/all/error-activating-ms-office-2010-error-code/2320d454-01f8-44d6-9082-5052f78edcc0

    What it says that, the error means there is some corruption in the system files causing the office not to activate.

    Although the solution says reinstall, I will ask you to do an office online repair. Since you are using a more current OS and Office (presumably).

    The steps for an online repair is as follows:

    1. Right Click on Start > Select Apps and Features
    2. Scroll down until you see Microsoft 365 Apps
    3. Click the three buttons beside the Microsoft 365 Apps
    4. Select Modify
    5. Click Online Repair (this will take a while to be done)

    Click the (reference) link below for guidance
