Aspire E 575G

I just started using athis new laptop.

MS Office is preinstalled but there is no documentation re: this product.

 

When I try to run MS Word I get the "Try, Buy or Activate" box. I was not given an activation key.

 

So, what do I have here? Is it a complimentary copy of Office 365?

Is it a free trial version?

If it's a free trial, how long is the trial period?

If it's a free trial, what happens when the trial ends? Do I need to purchase or subscribe? How much?

 

They really should have included a small piece of paper in my laptop's box explaining this.

 

My best guess is that it's a 1-month subscription after which they will try to gouge me, which will cause me to uninstall Office 365 to free up SSD space and go back to Libre Office which works fine.

Hi,

It's a free trial version and can be tried for 30 days, after the trial period you have to buy from the Store App to get the activation key.

That is what I expected to hear. Oh well, I'll dump it and install Libre Office which has served me well for a long time. Thank you for the reply.
