16.1. Getting to Know Windows
®
8
Windows
®
8, the new operating system from Microsoft, contains a series of
innovative functions and new technologies that your PC uses to work quickly and
reliably. At the same time, it is also designed to be easy to use.
16.2. Windows Activation
To protect against software piracy, Microsoft has introduced product activation. The
Windows
®
8 version installed on your PC and supplied with the
PC must be activated to enable you to use of all Windows
®
8 functions.
To do this, you require simply an Internet connection. The activation process is fully
automatic; no personal data will be transmitted.
If no Internet connection is available, select telephone activation as follows:
Move the mouse pointer into the top right or bottom corner of the display and
click
Settings
.
Next, click
Change PC settings
.
Select the
Activate Windows
item.
Now click
activate by phone
.
Click
Next
after choosing your country.
Call one of the specified hotlines on the telephone and read out the column of
figures displayed when prompted to do so.
You will then be given a confirmation ID over the telephone.
Enter this in the empty field and click
Activate
.
PLEASE NOTE!
If you have not activated Windows® 8, not all functions will be available
to you under PC settings. A watermark will also continue to be displayed
at the bottom right on the traditional desktop.
