When in Australia, can pirated copies of Windows 7 be tracked?

I live in Australia and my stepdad who lives in Asia recently bought me a computer for my birthday but it’s a pirated version of Windows 7 installed. My dad tells me that the Windows.. people (?) will be able to detect it and I may get in trouble. Anyway I was just wondering if that was true? So I just can’t use the computer?
