My laptop came with Office pre-installed but I have this banner showing up every time I open it, is there a way to disable it for good?

I believe it’s common practice for Windows laptops to come preinstalled with Office 365 now. I don’t think it’s pirated. It’s just not licensed like you said.

OP, I’d recommend just using LibreOffice. It works fine for most situations.

You're correct that it often comes pre-installed, but the banner on those say "Office has not been activated" not "The license isn't genuine"
