I haven't been able to activate Outlook email in Windows yet although
I am using Outlook on my old computer thanks to cloned drive. Office
wants to do everything for you even if you don't want it done.
Everything has been simplified beyond simple. I'm afraid to open my
tablet for fear of what has happened there. I'm operating on my old
computer -- should have just saved the money I spent on a new laptop.
NOTE: write to Help and tell them to give you a key. It's their
problem, not yours.
