How to find old windows product keys which had office version with it after i changed product key twice to upgrade

Anonymous

HI Helpful People,

I bought Windows 10 which had home edition installed and office active with it

Later on i changed product key to Windows Education edition when I was a student

Then I bought a windows Pro product key and upgraded OS to Windows 10 Pro and no longer had office with it. I bought a subscription Microsoft 365 personal family plan, been using couple of years but the price has been significantly increased from $80 to $250+ this year.

How do I find my old windows Home product key (not sure what features I will lose doing this), needed to know if I can get office back with that key so I can stop paying for subscriptions (365) for a personal use

any thoughts please?

Hi, I am Dave, I will help you with this.

Windows never comes with an Office licence included, they are two separate licences.

1

Download the free ShowKeyPlus app from the Microsoft Store.

Please provide a screenshot of that app window and please hide any product key that may appear in the screenshot.

Log into your Microsoft account on this link, do you see any previous Office licence listed there apart from your current Microsoft 365 subscription?
