I purchased a new laptop and activated the trial version. Now I would like to change it to the full version, but it will not give me that option anywhere that it says it should be. I know from reading on other places that some trial versions are not changable, so what should I do now? Am I suppose to go our and but it from some place? Any ideas?
Product activation is required for all licenses that are purchased through retail distribution. If you purchased a new computer from a computer manufacturer, you may have to activate the Microsoft software that is installed on the computer. However, some computer manufacturers may activate the Microsoft software in the factory. More information here - http://support.microsoft.com/kb/927921
