Bought a laptop and it has a registered copy of Microsoft license sticker but
it is not the number that is loaded in the system.
If you have a factory-installed OEM license, and haven't since
reinstalled the OS, the revealed Product Key is probably of the drive
image used at the factory and not your specific Product Key; therefore,
it probably cannot be -- and definitely should not be -- used for a
re-installation.
How do I change the
registration number so that it can be verified by the Microsoft site?
There's no need to do so. Just remember to use the Product Key from
the CoA label, should you ever need to reinstall the OS.
