I am getting an error message when I sign on saying my version of Windows is fake. When I bought the computer I didn't know I had to do anything as I thought Windows was all set up. What can I do?

I was able to get the following information from the box.
Serial Number: 5CB1441101
Product Number: QE282UA#ABA
HP 2000-299WM - Notebook PC
Bar Code: 3A0239500-J40-G
The message I get also asked for:
Product Name
Product Family
System Board CT#
Please help me get this corrected as I must take my laptop with me to do some work at a concert and want it to be functioning correctly.
Thank you,
Gloria Luckenbill
