I was given a Windows 8 laptop from an old buddy. He did a "reset this PC" before giving it to me and when I got home, I set the computer up.
However, I am UNABLE to put a vanity background or an account picture. It tells me "You need to activate windows before you can personalize this PC"
But when I go to "Properties" on My Computer, at the bottom it says "Windows is activated"
My Computer properties seems to think that Windows is activated but personalization settings seem to think otherwise.
This PC came with Windows 8 because there is a Windows 8 sticker on the bottom of the laptop.
Does anybody know what the problem could be?
