This is what happened:

1. I Boot from the USB by pressing either ESC, F10, F11 when the classmate is starting (The reason I don't know which one is because I pressed them all at the same time..)
2. I see windows is not genuine message
3. I do step 1 again
4. I still get the same message
5. I click "activate online"
6. I download and run the Microsoft plug in that checks your copy of windows
7. It tells me my windows is genuine
8. I am happy.

This worked for me and one other team that I know of.

Note: When I was booting from USB, I saw two option, both 'Boot from USB.' I clicked the second one. But basically choose one, if you get an error, then choose the other one and it'll boot.
