You should receive a disk with full hologram, if you buy your Microsoft Windows operating system software along with your computer from a system manufacturer. A system manufacturer is a small or medium computer manufacturer. You can determine whether a disk came with your computer by checking your certificate of authenticity. If your COA under the name of the program, the phrase "OEM Product" exhibits, or if the number far right of the Certificate of Authenticity with the letter "D" ends, you should complete disc one with hologram disk provided by your computer manufacturer.
