FPCH Admin AWS Posted March 31, 2013 FPCH Admin Posted March 31, 2013 On switching my PC I have this strange message : 'This copy of Windows is not activated. In order to be properly licensed this copy must be activated' ... I am a little dubious as I have had this PC with Windows XP for nigh on eternity. Can't remember exactly when I first bought it. I have - so far - been perfectly happy with it and quite sure all this licence activation would have been done all these years ago. Over the years there has been many installs of new add on hardware such as new printer, new scanner, new monitor etc ... also install of dropbox, skype, I-tune and still it all works OK... So why do I have on my desktop this permanent message telling me to activate within 3 days. Actually have only 1 day left of the warning as I've been away 2 days already ... Also the Microsoft logo is not one that I recognise... This one is a 5 point stylised star ... Is this all genuine ? Can I go ahead and follow the instructions given ?... Could someone re-assure me ? if poss before 9pm UK time this evening Sunday 31st March 2013. Thank you to all View this thread Quote Off Topic Forum - Unlike the Rest
