What happens if Windows 8.1 not activated?
It also shows the build version of Windows 8 at the bottom right hand corner of your desktop. You cannot use the Personalize options located in the immersive Control Panel either. After 30 days, Windows will ask you to activate and every hour the computer will shut down (Turn off).
