I just bought a new HP Stream. I installed Office 375 but Publisher was not with it. Is there a reason or what do I do?

I do not have Microsoft Publisher after activating Office 365 on my HP Stream. Is there a reason?

Publisher (PC only)

HP Stream laptops all use Windows 8.1 / 10 so they are considered to be PCs (at least that is the assumption).

You would need to contact Microsoft support to find out why Publisher is not included.

Oh. Since it PC only, probably need to install on the machine.

I think publisher is the ONE thing they left out:

Optimized for both online and offline use, the full version of Office 365 Personal includes Microsoft Excel, Word, PowerPoint, OneNote, and Access, plus 1TB OneDrive cloud storage for one year*. (60 Skype minutes per month for 1 year)

One thing to consider is that HP Stream only has 32GB of internal storage and Windows 10 likely eats up at least 20GB. Hell... I did a clean install of Windows 10 on a laptop and after Windows updates and doing all the tricks I know of to reduce the amount of space Windows 10 uses; short of allowing file compression, Windows 10 is using about 28GB on a clean install. That's with the pagefile on a different drive and hibernation disabled.

It could be Publisher was not installed due to lack of available storage space. Again, you will need to contact Microsoft support to find out if that is indeed the case.
