Does the Microsoft Office software require annual renewal, with a fee after the first year?

I haven't owned my W4 for a whole year yet, but I believe it's a lifetime license, not per-year.

No yearly fees......free app download through iTunes. If you do not use apple devices, I assume you can down load software for other devices.

No. To get any of the Office products you either have to buy the software or a subscription to Office 365.

You will need to renew it once a year. It keeps track and will notify you when you are coming to the end of the year. It is much cheaper here on Amazon than on their website, as a side note.

It comes with Word Starter which is very similar to the Office Word and you get to keep it without a charge. Otherwise you will have to pay to get the Microsoft Office software.

If you have an office 2013 license you can activate it with the trial version on the PC. The PC does not come with Office 2013 activated. You could ask the vendor to sell you one.

Lynn - No, it doesn't. But I recommend looking into Office 365, it's 9.99 a month and you get access to all Microsoft products through the cloud. You avoid paying a few hundred dollars for the software all at once with this option. Hope that helps!

No. Some models come with a trial version of Office (Word, etc.) that expires rather soon. You will have to acquire the software on your own.

You get a trial membership to Office 365. After 30 days, you have to decide if you want to buy it. I like Office 365 and decided to get the one year renewable subscription because they give you free upgrades and the product is very comprehensive. I suggest that you go to Microsoft. Com and read about Office 365. If there is a tutorial, do it and then make your decision on the laptop purchase. It is a great laptop that is made well and has many functions. I like HP products including their printers. Hope this helps you.

There is no subscription fee. The software is included with the unit and does not require any subscription or activation.

The laptop does come with Microsoft Office 365, this version of Office is cloud based and requires a subscription. It's about $7 a month.

Microsoft 365, if i understand it correcltly, is the rented version of microsoft office. Office is a wone time purchase and 365 is a per year charge, - my guess is that is the only difference, so it would not matter which - either would work. i am about 80% confident of this, so check with others please.

It comes with a free trial of Office 365. I haven't used it. I discovered Libre Office, and it's free. You should check it out.
