minus-squaredjsaskdja@reddthat.comlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up31arrow-down1·1 year agoI believe it’s common practice for Windows laptops to come preinstalled with Office 365 now. I don’t think it’s pirated. It’s just not licensed like you said. OP, I’d recommend just using LibreOffice. It works fine for most situations.
minus-squaretonamel@kbin.sociallinkfedilinkarrow-up8·1 year agoYou’re correct that it often comes pre-installed, but the banner on those say “Office has not been activated” not “The license isn’t genuine”

Good catch!
