Confirmation of windows Genuine

After several years of use of an upgrade from Vista to Windows 7, bought Currys, I had suddenly a black screen with information "Windows 7 Build 7601, this copy of windows is not genuine" in the lower right corner.  A window pops up which requires validation of windows key to be inserted and displayed.  The same key that was used to install the update has been inserted, but information returned that is not authentic.  It is a real mistake, or is a ploy by Microsoft to not allow me to upgrade to Windows 10 for free as promised. Response is necessary because in 6 months I will be buying a new computer and need to decide whether to stay with windows, which I enjoyed for many years, or opt for an Apple system because of frustration with Microsoft.  Thank you in anticipation of your help.

Problem solved. Did a recovery long before the event, then started to day and all back to the normal, although new information etc. had to be re-installed.

  • Windows XP Professional said that he has failed the Windows Genuine Advantage test. But I called the Windows Activation and the officer confirmed that my product key is genuine. How can I make Windows genuine?

    I recently bought a copy of Windows XP Professional. I installed and activated Windows XP while I had an Internet connection. This went well. I then download Microsoft Security Essentials, who then informed me that my copy of Windows is maybe not authentic. Confused, I downloaded the WGA tool, who confirmed that my Windows XP was not authentic.

    The Microsoft product activation call and reading my product to a CSR key, he confirmed that the key was official and I have to contact Technical Support. But Tech Support costs a bit of money, and I'm only 15 years to be honest (Yes, I have a bit of technical knowledge).
    My question is this: is it possible that I can make genuine Windows? This problem is getting boring now. I tried to reinstall Windows XP and re - enter the product key (I tried an online activation and a phone).
    Thanks in advance.

  • confirmation of windows 7 is genuine before purchase

    1st question, im looking to buy a used computer which has windows 7 installed on it.  My question is how can I confirm the windows 7 key is valid and authentic before I give money and that it has not used elsewhere?

    can 2nd question, if it is legitimate and comes with the installation of the retail media - I move the license to another PC and stop using it on the computer used mentioned above?

    Thanks in advance

    What OS is on the COA sticker that must be applied when the factory installs Windows?  The product key is readable?  It is the operating system you know with certainty who is being held on the PC for life, reinstall as often as you like.

    It is possible that they updated any time at ultimate or a clean reinstall with ultimate detail, but just the version itself is a red flag because it is using a pirate the most.  A good indicator is looking at the ID of the product in Control Panel > system page.  If "OEM" in the string, then it is even more likely that it is hacked, because it means that this supposedly came from the factory and Ultimate rarely does.

    But if he has any OEM in the string, then it is likely to detail that you can read the product key with ProduKey to use to reinstall.  This key can also still be validated by Global Customer Service.

    Finally if still doubts, you can run MGADiag.exe and post again its full report.  If the malfunctioning of button copy try to paste in any case, but if not then follow mgadiag circumvention of report

  • Windows Genuine Advantage Notifications stalls to "execution of process after installation.

    Hello.

    On a corporate network, with a licensed copy of Windows, I just finished installing a load of updates that a PC has missed in the last months or years.  To restart, a window titled "Windows Genuine Advantage Notifications".  I click Next and it works fine, up to 80%, then it hangs at "running the process after installation" and never finished.  It is present each time that I reboot and reconnect.

    How can I do complete, or stop to run to the log in?

    Thank you

  • Prompt to install Windows Genuine Advantage

    Recently, I noticed that several Windows XP machines get invited to install the Windows Genuine Advantage software after being imaged.  I was wondering if there was a particular KB which makes this place.  I would like to avoid having to install this software on the systems in question because they are newly imaged machines that should already be corrected using WSUS.  I tried to search the WSUS server for patches that might be related to but found nothing referencing WGA or "Windows Genuine Advantage".

  • Obsolete Windows Genuine Advantage on the MS Site

    When trying to update Windows Media Player 11 on the MS site, I wonder to validate my version of Windows XP using the Windows Genuine Advantage that comes back and tells me that the tool itself is outdated.  I then go hunt down the latest version of the Windows Genuine Advantage tool and download it on the spot.  I try validation again, but he seeks only on the MS downloads version itself which of course, is outdated to me in an endless loop.  Not quite as definitely infinite that the MS Online Chat, but nevertheless, I always have Media Player 11 on my PC.

    Please understand this is a problem with not getting to the point of validation of my store bought, legitimate and previously posted a version of Windows XP (with updates to date) - this is the Windows Genuine Advantage, which is obsolete.
