Being asked for Microsoft Office key when opening Word after upgrade to Windows

[Guest]

Why am I suddenly being asked for a product key when I open a word document now I have upgraded to windows 7 from Vista. Have never been asked for a key before and don't have one since it came pre-installed

the pre-installed version of Office are usually trial versions that expire after 60 days and you need to buy a key from Microsoft to be able to continue using it.
