I thought you just needed 25 character string, on the CD or the holigraphic label on the laptop/PC case. It is normally asked for whem one does a complete initial install, or first start of Laptop It also asks if you change motherboard, hard drive or network card. My kid's laptop didn't come with a CD for Windows. It just came with Windows XP on it.Then the hard disk drive crashed. When I put a spare hard drive I had lying around in, up came this message about Windows Activation being needed before I could log in. OK. Fine. But, the Windows Activation window just came up blue and blank with no buttons, no action, no words, no nuthin'. I waited an hour and still nothing. I plugged into a live ethernet, and did a hardware reboot, and still nothing when it came up the same way. What's wrong with Windows Activation? |
