Hi,

I would like suggest you try the following suggestion:

- click the Start Orb in the lower left corner of the screen, typing "cmd" (without the brackets) and pressing [ENTER]

- typing "slmgr -ato" (without the brackets) in the Command Prompt to try to activate Windows over the internet

If that doesn't work, please do activate your copy of Windows by phone:
