Activating your copy of Windows 7
When you install Windows 7, you have the option of activating your copy of the software. If
you prefer to wait, you can activate it later—you have 30 days to do so. Activating your copy of
Windows 7, which is mandatory, enables Microsoft to verify that your copy of the software is
authentic, and ensures that you’ll be able to use every feature of the software. It also makes you
eligible to receive updates to the software as well as product support from Microsoft.
