Please hetlp thanks i sincerly appreciate any help

If your PC came from an OS version that had Microsoft Office installed, licensed and activated (not trial or evaluation), then it should continue for your Windows 10 OS.

There's a difference between Office 365 and cheap office 2016 , the previous being subscription-based with additional features whereas the second may be the traditional Office suite (Word, Excel, etc.).

Microsoft Office can be downloaded for free, but with no valid license it'll expire in 30 days. In Microsoft Office 2010, it's still easy to use Word, Excel, etc. complete with saving, editing and the usual functions, however in visio 2013 professional some of the functions (such as Save) is going to be disabled if the product isn't activated or licensed. You might want to contact the supplier of the PC regarding the information on the licensing from the Microsoft Office installed in it (if your PC included it pre-installed).
