I was charged for an annual subscription that I canceled. How do I obtain a refund?

Microsoft pushed an update through my laptop and my husband's laptop one day in April. Both laptops immediately rebooted and asked for a security / secret key. We input our keys and the systems wouldn't accept them. Both laptops are now completely useless because we can't do anything without the key. I want to cancel the annual subscription that was automatically charged to my card on February 18th for $138.24 and get a refund for the unused portion.
