Ant101 is ACCURATE & CORRECT, HP. I have been using MS Home Office 2010 since purchase of new HP Laptop 6/8/2012.
August 2013 (5 months ago) MS Home Office "prompted" if I wanted to UPDATE...NOT upGRADE...to MS HOME OFFICE 2013. I did. PRODUCT KEY was not requested https://downloadoffice.getmicrosoftkey.com/ . I successfully have been producing DOCS & utilizing 18 months of DOCS received/created since June 2012. Same as the HP Consumer I am replying to (ant101) we should not have to pay $139. to be able to open/edit/create/mail 300+ HP HOME OFFICE WORD DOCS !!
