When you installed windows it never activated for some reason. There should be an icon in your taskbar harassing you to activate. Or you can right click "my computer" go to properties, then it should have an activation option there.
If the internet activation doesn't work then you will have to call microsoft.. If it is a legit copy of windows then it takes about 5 minutes of you typing in a provided series of numbers, then entering a new set into your computers activation screen.
