Hi, just bought a second hand computer off Gumtree last week, which came with Windows 8.1 preinstalled, to my surprise! I checked to see if it was activated, and it was. My question is though, does this mean that the copy is genuine or not? How would I find out?

Huh, learn something new everyday. In that case, if it's activated, I wouldn't worry about it. Cross that bridge when you come to it.


Okay, thanks anyway
