  You are not able to install new themes using the WordPress.com-hosted version of WordPress that is supported here; adding your own themes and plugins is only available on self-hosted sites.

  Here is a list of differences between WordPress.COM and WordPress.ORG:
  https://en.support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/

  With that being said, there are still hundreds of themes available for you to choose from on WordPress.com:
  https://wordpress.com/themes/

  If you are unable to find a theme you want to use the theme you have already purchased, I would recommend trying out the self-hosted WordPress.org:
  https://wordpress.org/

  Yes, that is correct. The self-hosted version will require a domain name and hosting.
