The title says it all.

Well you shouldn't have to if it's a legitimate copy.

But just go to Control Panel > System and Security > System. Look near the bottom of the window.

i don't know, does it have to say windows is activated?

Near the bottom.

yeah, it says the same to me x]

er... i don't no if this is right but dosen't it go you maybe a victim of software counterfeiting?

Go to System and scroll to the bottom. It will show you if its activated and the Product ID.

1) Open command prompt as administrator (Right click and choose run as administrator)
2) Type slmgr -dli (Enter)
3) Type slmgr -xpr (Enter)
4) Type slmgr -dlv (Enter)

Something like this will appear:

lol...thats for win vista i prety sure he wanted win7 lol but i guess it would be both the same... i think

you type in the search box, activation and then click the windows activation icon. It will say either that it is activated or that it still has to be done.
