My Sony Laptop says windows needs to be activated but then it say cannot find ?

Question

This is not a new computer Its about 16 months old and even when i try to run save mode it say windows need to me activated !

Answer 1

You don't say what it can't find but there are two ways of activating Windows. One is through an Internet connection to the Microsoft website and the other is by phone (which should be a free call). I suspect that you haven't yet set up your laptop with an internet connection, so you will have to call Microsoft. The number will be listed in the documentation that came with your laptop and will depend on which country you are calling from.

Answer 2

Go through the 'Activation'
if your not connected to the web, it will offer you a screen to choose which contry you are in, it then gives the number to phone and a NEW key on the screen to give via the phone.

The number on the bottom (barcode) is for inital install only
NOT activation

Answer 3

you have to call microsoft and give them the number off the bottom of the computer.
