Here is how to activate Windows manually
We will be using the commandd line to start the activation program.
Windows (XP/Vista/7/2003/2008) will normally remind users to activate their product soon after installation. To activate Windows manually, you can use the Start menu shortcut in the System Tools Accessories folder. At the command prompt, type
oobe/msoobe /a
In case you’re wondering, msoobe stands for “Microsoft Out of Box Experience.”
