    In the situation you describe, it often becomes necessary to contact Microsoft support as Dave has already suggested.

    You may also want to take a look at the activation portal at https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/activation/activate-microsoft-perpetual-products-using-the-product-activation-portal and see if that helps.

    When an Office license is activated, that becomes permanently linked to the Microsoft account used at the time as a digital license, and there is no native method provided to move the Office license to another Microsoft account.

    If Office was not pre-installed on the new laptop, if you purchased Office separate to the laptop, you could try contacting Microsoft Support directly, provide them with proof of purchase and ask them if it is possible to move that license for you, try using this method to contact their support.

    Go to this link: https://support.microsoft.com/contactus

    Select Microsoft 365

    Click 'Get Home Support'.

    In the box provided, type billing.

    Press Enter, then on the next page, scroll down and click 'Sign in to Contact Support'.

    Navigate to Microsoft 365 and Office - Manage my Subscription.

    Select the 'Chat with support agent in web browser' option
