I am an idiot maybe
I bought a PC (my first) and it was equipped with Windows 7 Ultimate. I did'nt get a disk with it and was told that was normal when buying from someone who builds systems. Now it seems that my OS is a pirated version and was possibly disabled by Microsoft. I am not to sure what happened so I came here to see if anyone has any ideas. I went to resart the PC and the options were start normally or StartupRepair, I tried to start normally but it froze and restarted again with the same options. I tried the startup reapir a few times and it will not fix. I am not very computer friendly and it almost seems to me that my only option is to buy Windows 7 and reinstall it and lose my hard drives contents. If anyone has any suggestions otherwise please please tell me.
