Retail box.

What they do say is that they've recently installed Windows 7 or Windows 8.

Is it possible that MS delivers the prompt as a precautionary warning -- i.e., in case you decide in future to encrypt files, you'd better back up your encryption key -- but is too verbally challenged to make that clear?
