error message saying my copy of microsoft is not authentic

There is a little over 4 years, I bought my laptop... I have made no changes to it or added any software other than a mouse, but I get that my copy of microsoft is not authentic, and my office has turned black apart from the icons.

Hi @di8and welcome to the Forums of HP!

I'd be happy to help you. From your description, I understand that although no it no changes to the operating system of your laptop you see a message "copy of Microsoft is not authentic. The only thing I can think to suggest is to perform a system restore or contact Microsoft.

  • Build 7601 this copy of microsoft is not authentic? but it should be.

    the basic facts are not very irritable im.

    laptop has two internal hard drives

    its an acer aspire 6930

    laptop fell off the couch

    Windows would not start saying hardware or software missing or damaged

    made the diagnosis of memory ok.

    discovered on the startup disk

    in fact, reinstalled windows on another hard drive and booted up

    has taken about 30 minutes to install updates

    seen through my computer my main hard drive missing

    disabled for laptop

    unscrewed the Panel underneath and had to fix the main hard drive

    now has the choice of 2 windows 7

    back photos etc. and format of hdd secondary to try away with 2 x Window 7 on startup.but can always get the option.

    now my original hard drive startup displays the message above about not genuine windows

    a speech bubble guard appearing telling me also.

    wallpaper disappears.

    hope you can follow like its all a bit messy.

    what I need to save all external and format the two hard drive

    then reinstall?

    Thanks again for the quick response.

    just looked under laptop

    faded key cert Microsoft for vista.

    also a couple of front stickers are missing

    I bought this laptop 18 months to 2 years for little money from someone I used to know about a car forum, which has revolved around laptops with decent spec (to the extent of the concerned in any case im) at a quite reasonable price that I was on a budget as usual

    This laptop can be a parts bin lol.

    It has a screen revalued and the additional hddrive as far as I know.

    I gave an authentic disc of windows 7 in a box with its own product key and said it was the operating system that is installed. It ran fine with no warning 'victim of possible fraud counterfeit' or something else. and he made the automatic updates, I think that all day, mainly for windows defender.

    This disk is what I'd done the re-setup on the secondary drive.

    maybe after activation on another drive it has marked as cloned? don't know how it works tbh.

    Anyway, it serves me right for it hits on the couch and maybey its time to try to upgrade to windows eight after Christmas.

    hope only until it is not get in any trouble.

    The key used is of "recovery media" for Gateway/Acer/Packard Bell at least - from what I can find easily.  If the product key that you have in the above output (* - WJ2H8 - R6B6D-7QJB7) does not match the key found, ' drive genuine windows 7 in box with its own product key "-enter the box and try to activate.  If it does not-Yes, this is the product key that Gateway/Acer/Packard Bell (at least) used to install Windows 7 on all of its systems at the factory.

    Hello

    Certificates are issued with a life and explicit expiration date provided. A certificate may be issued for one minute, thirty years or even more. Once issued, a certificate becomes valid once validity period is reached, and it is considered valid until its expiration date. However, various circumstances may cause a certificate to become invalid before the expiry of the validity period.

    These conditions include the name change, change of binding between the subject and the certificate authority (for example, when an employee leaves employment with an organization), and compromise or suspected of the corresponding private key. In such circumstances, the CA must revoke the certificate.
