Most likely what you have are the trial versions of the software. If you have been using them at all, then your trial period has run out, and you need to actually buy the software. Laptops and PCs running Windows usually come with the trial versions of Microsoft Office, because of course Microsoft wants you to use them and then have to spend more money to buy the programs. Unless you paid extra upfront when you bought the laptop to have the programs installed, then all you have is the trial versions. You would have asked to have the programs pre-installed when you bought the laptop, and it would have been an add-on to the cost.
You can try downloading Open Office, which is free and has programs that are equivalent to Microsoft Office, including a word processor and a presentation package. Go to www.Openoffice.org.
Good luck.

put the things in order... first the project should be done... go with someone near to you to let you work in his PC/Lap to finish, then look for the software Microsoft office correction...
dont get stressed...
May be you will need to activate the MS office, sometimes when you buy a new one that's what it should do...
