Microsoft Certificate of Authenticity
If you purchased a system with a Microsoft operating system, the operating system Certificate of
Authenticity (COA) is located on the system bezel (see Figure 1-1). You should retain the bezel,
even if it is not used, in the event you need to refer to the COA for support purposes.
