Mine had the same issue.
All you have to do is go into System, click on Windows Edition (Where it says it's not activated), then hit 'Troubleshoot'.
It will then find the Windows Product Key because it is stored on the motherboard's BIOS.
Mine was fine after that, and confirmed it was fully activated! Hope this helps :)

If you are stuck during initial setup and can't connect to WiFi, here's your likely problem:

I discovered that the WiFi antennas I received were incapable of broadcasting or receiving on the 40mhz band, and only worked on the 20mhz band. However, because the included Intel 3168AC WiFi adapter is a mixed-mode adapter that uses channel bonding in both bands, this breaks the ability of the card to even connect to anything unless you force the card or your router to use the 20mhz band only on both the 2.4 and 5 ghz segments of your network. Replacing the antennas with those from a previous WiFi adapter fixed the problem immediately. Score zero for iBuyPower, who either sent you and me defective antennas, or antennas that could not broadcast and receive in the 20mhz range by design.

You can complete the install by skipping all of the parts that force you to go online - but you'll then need to dig into the Intel drivers to force the card to the 2.4 ghz band. You'll then get terrible speeds, but at least be able to e-mail iBuyPower to ask for the right antennas. They haven't bothered to answer me, so my machine's going right back in the box. My machine also had terrible coil whine from the GPU, the audio port header was only half connected to the ports, etc. The build quality here is lacking, so mine's going right back to the store unless iBuyPower can rectify this tomorrow.
