@Abk88 

There is nothing we here can do to help you with this problem.

 

If you just bought this, then send it back because you can not fix this on your own.

Hi, @Abk88 

 

The parts list for your notebook indicates that it is a HP 6930p.

The HP 6930p originally came with Windows Vista Business or Windows 7 Professional, so there is definitely nothing we can do to help you with activating W8.1.

 

You will need to contact Microsoft with help for Activation.

 

Get help with Windows activation errors (microsoft.com)

 

I happen to have a HP 6930p notebook, and there should be a Windows Vista or Windows 7 product key under the clear business card holder on the bottom of the case.   Mine has a Vista Business product key.
