Answer 1

How did you purchase Office (or Word)? What is the exact product name?

Any purchases made directly from Microsoft do not involve product keys. In the process, you associate your product (subscription or perpetual license) with a Microsoft account.

If you purchased a product key from a seller, you have to enter the key at https://setup.office.com . Setup and activation proceeds using your selected account.
