Step 1
To enter your product key, go to the appropriate section of your operating system. To do this, open the "Start" menu and right-click on the "Computer" item. In the list that appears, select the "Properties" attribute.
Step 2
In a new window, you will see information about the computer and the version of the operating system used. To go to the product activation section, at the bottom of the Windows Activation menu, click on the Activate Windows now link.
Step 3
In the window that appears, you will be asked to choose one of the methods for activating the system - directly via the Internet or by phone. The first item is considered the most convenient activation option. The second option should only be selected if you do not have a working network connection.
Step 4
After choosing "Activate Windows over the Internet", enter the product key that is printed on the box with the licensed disc. If the combination is entered correctly, you will see a message about the successful activation procedure.
Step 5
To receive the code by phone, select Show other activation methods. Then enter your product key, which is shown on the Windows 7 disc box. Then click on the "Use the automatic telephone system" link. In the next window, select the country of your stay and call the phone number shown on the screen.
Step 6
Follow the instructions of the answering machine to complete the activation. The automatic program will ask you to enter the product code, which will be displayed on the screen. Entering must be done using the telephone keypad. If the operation is performed correctly, you will be given an activation code, which you will need to write down or immediately enter in the activation program window. If you can't enter the code correctly, stay on the line to speak with a Microsoft support specialist.
