What's the difference between Activation and Registration?
Activation is required. It's how you provide your product key to help ensure that your copy of Windows is used according to Microsoft Software license terms. You have 30 days after installing Windows to activate it online or by telephone. For more information, see Activating Windows: frequently asked questions.
Registration is optional—when you register Windows 7, we'll help you get started with helpful articles, tips, and tricks.
