You have to call Microsoft and give them the 42 digit code on the sticker, then they will give you the activation code which goes into boxes A, B, C etc. When you click on the activate Windows icon (the keys) either choose to do it online if it is your first time, or choose to call them and dial the number and follow the instructions.
