Call Microsoft support. If you actually have the product key for office 2010 they can help you out. Usually the product key of the bottom of dell laptops is the windows product key.

Don't panic. If you are certain that the copy of Microsoft Office is suppose to be the complete product, and not just a trial offer, go back to the people where you bought your computer. If they can't help you, you can download and use Open Office. It has all the same functionality as the Microsoft Office programs, but it is completely free.

Other options: Apart from Open Office, you could also download SSuite, or even use Google Docs online. Both are free, and have a Word Processor, Spreadsheet, Database etc, etc, etc.

If you purchased Office Pro with the computer (it adds nearly $200 to the cost, so you'll know if you did) you should have received the media as well as a product key in the box. If you did not pay for it, then you have received a trial version that will expire unless you go online and purchase a product key.

What you have is trial-ware. They normally have this so you try it for 30 days and then buy it! It slows down you're computer if you don't buy it. I reccomend that you uninstall it and download open office, its free. To sum it up, you have 2 choices: 1) Buy microsoft office, and enter the product key included in the package. 2)Uninstall the "trial ware" and download open office.
