Haven't bought a (business) Dell for a while. Give me a clue please. Email on its way? Bought at same time a computer (yesterday). Office 2019 license and Mcafe subscription?
Cheers.
Solved! Go to Solution.

Thanks I think. I wonder how Dell expects customers to work this out by themselves. The dull one first. McAfee -do I logon to McAfee with the MS acct?
So to Office 2019. Windows is activated independently of MS account, but ok, so I log on with my MS acct. I run Word and is says "do I want to activate Office 365" No I do not. Perhaps I need to find a download location for Office 2019 first?
EDIT: my apologies regarding Office 2019. Despite having Office 365 pre-installed, I selected "Activate" it it automatically selected Office 2019. Blimey, that was clever!?!? Now for McAffee... Thanks!
