If I bought a used computer, no matter who that belonged
-a friend or not - the first thing I would do with it would be to
Reinstall the operating system itself. You do not know how the
computer has been maintained, which has been installed incorrectly.
What is missing, what viruses and spyware, there may be, etc. I have
don't want to live with someone of another errors and problems,
possibility of kiddy p0rn, etc., and I would not recommend that anyone
otherwise do.

Your choice of course, but in my opinion, you're playing with fire if you
do not reinstall Windows properly.

If you do not have an installation disc, you have probably one
installation partition. Contact the manufacturer of the computer for
instructions on the use of it, or buy an installation disc if you do not have
have the partition.

And another point: it is never necessary to 'register' of Windows,.
regardless of the name. Registration gets you right on the list of Microsoft for
the advertising. No registration, activation, is what is needed, and
Activation is not made by name.
