Validation is a short process that enables you to verify that your copy of Windows is genuine. If you request a download of genuine Microsoft software from the Microsoft Download Center, you will be prompted to complete the validation process. You may choose not to validate your software and still obtain your requested download. However, validating now will enable faster access to the Download Center in the future when validation may be required. Following the validation process, you’ll be taken back to the initial download details page to obtain your requested download.
