I typed it in, checked it, and looked it up.
The sticker on the bottom of my laptop says “Product Key” and then says Microsoft beside it, but when I type it in it says it’s incorrect.
Help please?

That’s the product key only for the Windows operating system. It won’t work for Microsoft Office (Word, Excel, …). Unless you paid extra for office, you have a free trial copy that will expire after 25 uses (of all Office programs combined) or 60 days. Until then, you can use the trial copy by just clicking the Continue button in the registration window without entering anything in the product key boxes.
But be warned: When the trial period expires — with little or no warning — you’ll be able to read and print your documents, but not much more. When that happens, here are some of your options for paying less than full price for Microsoft Office 2007:
First, if you’re a student, you may qualify for the Ultimate Steal edition of Office at a pretty good price ($59.95):

Second, if you’re interested in buying just Word, check out this URL, especially the second group of listings.
http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/products/FX101754511033.aspx
Note that the higher of the two prices quoted is for a full version of that program and the lower, for upgrades from existing software. Read the list of upgrade-qualifying software carefully: MS Works is often one, and may have come on your machine.
Finally, if you’re willing to spend a little to make a little, Microsoft Works is available in stores for about $40.00. You could buy a copy, install it, then buy Office at the upgrade level. I think you’d come out ahead. Note that the upgrade copy probably checks your machine for Works’ presence, so don’t get rid of it after you’ve installed Office. You never know when you’re going to have to reinstall Office.
Also, if you have files that are locked up in the new Word 2007 file format (.docx), here’s a possibility for salvaging them. Microsoft offers a free Compatibility pack that allows earlier versions of Word (and Microsoft Works) to read and write Word 2007 files. If you have access to an earlier version, this can at least give you back your documents. Some new features of Word 2007 will be lost or converted to straight text in the conversion to the earlier version.
Good luck.
So anything says product key means it matches anything? The sticker on the bottom of the computer as ikaros said its for windows.Office is product of microsoft but it is not coming with windows unless you pay.The version you have is trial,if you want to keep it you have to get a license
When you open the product up you will see where the disk is kept. On the back side of that is where the product key is. Be careful the number 8 and the letter B can get mised up. Some of the other letters are like that too! I had the same issues!
The product key on the sticker is the windows product key,nothing to do with Microsoft office software.
