supposed to come with this operating system?

No. Never have. The confusion arises from the fact that many manufacturers
bundle office with the sale of a new machine.

No. These are applications from the Microsoft Office suite and have never
been a part of any Windows OS. You will need to purchase these separately.

Greetings --

Neither the Microsoft Office application suite, nor any of its
individual component applications (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Access,
Outlook, etc.), have _ever_ been "part" of *any* Windows operating
system. They are, and always have been, separate applications, that
must be purchased and installed separately.
