Windows do that sometimes. Normally it disappears in few days. If very worried you can take call to Microsoft, but not necessary.
Your friend installed the OS and used his key. It only LOOKED fine, now you need to activate and you won't be able (his key is already used). Buy a legit copy.
@rulisky There is no point to be calling ballstine a software pirate. He/She didn't say anything that would even remotely be considered "pirate-like". All ballstine said was that he/she So for all you know ballstine could have had his/her friend re-install windows onto his/her pc! Dont point fingers and make accusations in these forums okay? But if someone is doing something wrong tell a mod don't get on the persons case.
