Our new laptop is bundled with Windows 7 but no MS Office. I was able to borrow an installer of MS Office 2003 edition. When I clicked on the install application, it seems to be running in the background but no window was opened. After 15 minutes of running, I cancelled it. The installer was okay in the desktop which is running in Windows XP. Any opinion on this?
Cannot install MS Office 2003 to Windows 7

Are you sure it’s a new laptop?
Windows 7 was released all the way back in 2009.
Windows 8 was released in 2012.
Windows 10 was released in 2015.
Looks like you purchased a laptop that is at least 6 years old.

Try to run it in compatibility mode for Windows XP if you can and see if it works then?
It's a brand new HP 3478 Notebook that I bought from a reputable company whose marketing officer happens to be my friend. She said that the OS was downgraded to Windows 7 because Windows 10 may have issues with the hardware. It's not clear to me about the issues. But we can upgrade it to Windows 10 anytime, she added.
@RH-Calvin, we don't have an installer of the higher MS Office version. We are trying to save on expenses so we settled for the free installer of 2003.
