To use the free Microsoft 365 subscription that came with the new Lenovo laptop, activation is done through the pre-installed Office apps and the Microsoft account.
- On the Lenovo laptop, open any Office app (for example, Word or Excel).
- When prompted to sign in or activate, sign in with the Microsoft account that should own the subscription.
- If the device includes a one-year Microsoft 365 subscription or one-time purchase, a digital product key is already transmitted to the PC. After signing in, the product is added to that Microsoft account and activated—no printed key is needed.
- If instead a trial or offer screen appears (for example, a trial of Microsoft 365 Family or a non-subscription Office), choose the option to activate the included Microsoft 365 purchase/offer on the new Windows device and follow the on-screen prompts.
- After activation completes, Office will be licensed on that account and can be reinstalled later from the same Microsoft account if needed.
If activation screens indicate that only a trial is available or that no product is associated with the account, use the guided support for Microsoft 365 activation issues linked in the documentation to troubleshoot.
