Which edition of Office are you using? For example, Office Home 2024, Microsoft 365 Personal, or Microsoft 365 Family?

Sign in to your Microsoft account here: https://account.microsoft.com/services

Can you find your Office license or subscription there, and does it show as active?

Could you please describe the issue in more detail? Which functions or features are greyed out?

Have you successfully installed and activated Office on your new computer? Installation should be straightforward; just use the Install link next to your product at https://account.microsoft.com/services .

If you have a one-time purchase product, you may need assistance with (re-)activation. See https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/activation/activate-microsoft-perpetual-products-using-the-product-activation-portal .
