Make sure it’s clear which ‘Office 365’ you are getting with the computer. It’s the same with many bonuses with new computers, like anti-virus or security software. The ‘free’ Office 365 is really a lure to encourage the computer purchase and get people onto to Office 365 annual payment system.

You must buy the computer with Office 365 so it’s not free. Usually the Office 365 offer is ‘baked in’ to the supplied computer. The deal would only be truly free if you could buy the same computer, without Office 365 and get an equivalent reduction in price. You’re paying for it as part of the overall cost of the computer. Happily, Microsoft has a way to still use the offer even if you already have another Office 365 plan. The offer isn’t what a lot of people expect. There are new computers sold with ‘free’ Office 365, what does that mean and how does it work? Thanks for joining us! You'll get a welcome message in a few moments.
