If your Acer laptop comes with a 1-year Office 365 subscription, you need to activate it within 6 months. To activate, log into your laptop using a Microsoft account. If you don’t have one, you can create it and sign in. Open the Start menu by clicking the Start button or pressing the Windows key, then select the Microsoft Office app (not the "Get Office" app, as that’s for purchasing a license). Once the app is open, choose the "Activate" option and follow the instructions displayed on your screen. If prompted for a product key, your subscription might only include a trial version instead of a full license.

If you ever need to reinstall Office, visit your Microsoft account’s MyAccount page. There, you can deactivate the current installation and install it again to activate your existing Office 365 subscription. Make sure your laptop is connected to the internet during the activation process.

If your Acer computer came with a 1 year Office 365 subscription, you will have 6 months to activate it with Microsoft. You must sign into your computer with a Microsoft Account when activating Office 365. Your Office 365 subscription will be linked to this Microsoft account.

Use the following steps to activate your Office 365 subscription. Make sure your computer has internet access before attempting to activate Microsoft Office.

1. Sign into your computer with a Microsoft account. You can create a Microsoft account if you do not have one and use it to login to your computer.
2. Click on Start ⊞ or press the Windows key ⊞ to bring up the Start menu.
3. Click the Microsoft Office tile, or click All Apps then select Microsoft Office from the App list. Do not select the Get Office app as this will prompt you to purchase a license.
   
   
4. Select Activate.
   
   
5. Follow the onscreen prompts to complete the activation process. If you are asked for a product key when you try to activate Office, your product may have only come with a trial version of Microsoft Office.

Note: If you have to reinstall Office, login to your MyAccount page, and then click Deactivate Install. After deactivating that installation, click Install. This will install your existing subscription of Office 365.
