Just bought this Laptop as a planned gift. Office 365 does not come with a CD, so have to try to install that Software using the Product Key. Have set-up a Microsoft Account but Microsoft does not seem to recognize it yet so I can not get to the “Install” Button at all. Is there a delay before a new Microsoft Account is Activated for installation of Office 365? I logged a Support Chat Call of course but have been waiting for about 3 Hours so far!!!
can i use my yahoo or google acct in installing office 365 or it has to be microsoft.com?
