    Hi,

    Which version of Office - is it 365?

    If so, reinstall from https://account.microsoft.com/services page and simply sign in after installing.

    I look forward to hearing from you to get the results of the troubleshooting.

    it is home and student 2013

    Do you have installation media or an associated Microsoft account—anything that lets you install Office on your new computer? For activation, see if https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/activation/activate-microsoft-perpetual-products-using-the-product-activation-portal helps.
