Apple computers use a very different operating system than Microsoft's. Apple computers run OS X, while Microsoft (which Lenovo uses) provides Windows.
So, you have two choices:
- Purchase Microsoft Office for Mac or Office 365, as the Microsoft Office version you have is not compatible with OS X.
- Use Boot Camp on your Mac, which enables Windows to run "on top of" OS X. Use Windows 10 on your Mac with Boot Camp - Apple Support
Apple computers are so different from Windows computers, I strongly recommend you read about the differences. This book, "Switching to the Mac: The Missing Manual, El Capitan Edition" by David Pogue, is an excellent reference.
(I have no financial interest in this book. I did read the edition that was current when I made the switch and highly recommend the book.)
