Activation of Windows® 7
Are you interested in activating Windows 7 operating system in your computer?
Activating a Windows 7 is the process of checking the authenticity of the operating system copy you are using. You can activate Windows 7 using several methods, like automated phone system and using the modem to directly connect to the activation service. Microsoft operating systems had this feature on Windows Vista editions as well as on Windows 7 editions, until its RTM release was published.

You may not be able to update your system with the recent product updates from Microsoft.
