Yes! Yes! I did exactly this. Apply the product code to your account. The expiration date of subscription extends by one year.

I thought it came with a free trial of MS Office but in any case, you would have to purchase Microsoft Office from a store or online. At that time, you will get a product key to enter.

The included "Office Home & Student 2013" is a FULL version. It is NOT a Trial version as someone else claimed. The confusion is that this same laptop is being sold elsewhere with a Trial version of "Office 365", which is a web-based solution of the full line of MS Office products. The Office Home & Student 2013 application being offered here is a FULL version, meaning it's yours forever... it is NOT a Trial Version. However, it is limited to only include Excel, Word, OneNote and PowerPoint. It does NOT include Publisher, Access, SharePoint or Outlook. On the other hand, Office 365 is the complete package of all Office products.

the only reoccurring costs I know of are the subscriptions like PAYROLL. We also only buy the new version every 3 years, because after 3 years they stop supporting them. $499.90 yearly would be to buy the new version of the software... which you don't have to do.

A 30 day free trial. Then you can either buy office or sign up up for office 365 at $10 a month. You could also get openoffice at openoffice.org, which is free.

The OS is ready out of the box but it only has a trial of Office. I purchased Office 365 for $99 it works on 5 devices and includes everything. Great pc so far!

I'd like to know this as well, I wonder if it would stack the subscription. I just wish I had checked amazon for the update as opposed to buying through the 'discounted price' from intuit. I really dislike quickbooks these days. Once they snag you for the auto renewal for enhanced payroll, you simply can't get rid of them. I originally renewed on a CC, it automatically reupped the following year. That kinda peaved me a little. I called intuit and they claimed to remove this from my account. Next year it reupped again, on a CC that was no longer current. But yep, I got the bill from the CC company. How is this possible???

It comes with office 365 loaded. It is a subscription based office. I would recommend open office or star office. If you are set on micrsoft then Google 'home use program' and see if your company participates.

Just a trial version of Office 365. However, please read the reviews. I returned mine. I couldn't even get office to load, you can't multi task on it....it can't handle it! Save yourself the hassle and look for another laptop.

A month trial edition.Microsoft wants you to buy Windows 365, which means you have to buy a new license EVERY YEAR!!!

I acquired this computer last Nov 1st. It came with a trial version of Office 2010 on it. A product key code could make it permanent or allow you to download any files needed to augment it to your version. Personally I already owned a dvd version of Office 2007, so I bought an external drive and used it to install it on my computer instead. So that route would work as well.

Online renewal is $49.95. We've been using the product for years, but I had problems with the online renewal, so I found it cheaper and easier to just buy the disc. This is a good price here, this year anyway, and with Prime you get it in a couple days anyway. Hope this helps.

No, this is only a one-year subscription. You will have to purchase a renewal one year after activation if you want continued access.

Yes, and yes. It comes with the 60 day trial version, you need to buy the full version if you want it. Or just get the Document readers from M$, and save your money. Download Windows Live Email, it will give an address book, and email and a calendar (all you really need.) I wouldn't even install the trial version.

Yeah. It was being sold by Office Depot. They even had it for $85 for a bit. I was going to buy as well. Too bad. Now I'll save that money for when the next gen systems come out. If you go to Office Depot you can still get it for $99.99 but says Temporarily Out of Stock :(

There were several versions of MS Office 2007 - this is the simplest, but by no means is it lacking. As an experienced user, I've found no features lacking. However, one thing you should be aware of- it only allows you to load up the program 3 times. So if you have Windows crash twice (it's happened to me), you've used up the license.

I would recommend an Office 365 personal subscription for $7.99/month. It's what I use on my Chromebook if I want the highest degree of compatibility with other MS Office users. For my own documents, I use the built in Word Processor and Spreadsheet. They are compatible with Word, but occasionally not perfectly (margin's off, etc). Now if someone would buy the Chromebook to replace by Acer C710, "that would be great (from Office Space)"!
