It came with the computer.
But the problem is now that I noticed that some of my programs are missing,
such as media player and disk cleanup.....and everytime I logon to my
computer, the message on the bottom right hand corner of my screen says that
I have 26 days to activate windows.....
I also noticed that when I go online, I can't seem to get into most of the
internet websites, I also noticed that I can't get into the user accounts in
the control panel section...all it shows is a blank screen.
I am not sure if this is revelant, but I am telling it anyways...I don't
know what to do...
