Activated Windows 7 in error
Hi there. I am installing a system with Windows 7 Home Premium. During the setup process I filled out the Windows key instead of skipping. I meant to test it first before activating because I am unsure about my machine. Also, the box was checked saying 'activate when I am online'. What now? Is my product actually activated? I have no way of checking because that installation actually failed and I reinstalled with different parameters. My question is: Does Windows actually go online on the setup screen or once the system has loaded? Also, can an install be deactivated if it has gone through? Thanks in advance for your help.
