    When for the first time you turn on your notebook, the windows coming up
    and try to install.

    No, not when you first get it. ;)

    When it comes, it already is installed and registered with an OEM Key. You only need to put one in (usually) if you reinstall the OS.

    when you say you recovered windows...do you mean you yourself reinstalled windows? if thats the case, it will definately ask you to register/activate windows bud.

    Later on, if you "Restore it to Factory Settings" with your recovery Disks that came with it, you will usually need to use a key then. But its either witht he CD, or on the bottom of your notebook. ;)
