i am in the process of setting up my new pcs toy.
i ordered the system without windows, as i already have win 64 home premium.
when i booted up my new pc, there is a message on the desktop from pcs, saying this is a 30day trial version of windows7 ,with 2 options.
op1) phone a number to request an activation code to continue using current operating system.
or
op2) format the hard drive and install your own operating system.
my problem is:
i already have win7 home prem with activation code.
should there not be a 3rd option to use my existing actvation code?
i have chanced it and windows says it is "activated" but i am worried this may not be the case.
please advise.
thanks in advance
