How will I know if an unopened Windows 7 Ultimate is authentic or a pirated version?

I purcheased a copy of Windows 7 Ultimate Online. After several weeks, it happened - shipped out of China. I have not opened the shrink wrap and wonder if there is a way to verify that this is indeed a legitimate copy without opening the package. Thank you.

You should probably look at it that way!

If you bought for a price that was difficult to pass, it is probably wrong.

There's no business there on legitimate Windows 7.

Almost all software publishers dictate what sells at the price of their software, and Microsoft is no different.

The sad thing is, you will not be able to tell until you install and try to save it!

    Because they do not have a 64-bit edition family... you have a 32-bit operating system.

    To see for yourself, make a right click workstation-> properties, on the general tab, you will see under "system":
    Microsoft Windows XP
    Home Edition
    Version 2002
    Service Pack 3

    It depends on which Bluetooth stack you use.  If you use Windows to configure your Bluetooth device, see http://support.microsoft.com/kb/883259

    In my rather old Widcomm Bluetooth utility, there is a box in the "Accessibility" tab that says 'Other Bluetooth devices discover this computer.'  Access the Bluetooth configuration utility or via the Panel control, either by right-clicking on the Bluetooth icon in the system notification area (near the time).

  • Laptop had a problem to "Solve a problem with PSIKey", solution from Windows & installed according to the instructions. How will I know that the problem is solved?

    has stopped working properly.

    An update is available that solves this problem.

    Downloaded Update site Web Protexis, Inc. and told to follow the steps in the installation wizard. The file downloaded and said he was setting up installation. Then after a few seconds, the box has disappeared and nothing else happened. How will I know if this problem has actually been resolved? My laptop has shown 6 problems with this unit from 30/07/11-08/12/11, where the unit has stopped working. Because I don't know what it is yet, I don't know really if the problem is solved or not. What should I do at this point? I have a SP2 7520-5185, running Vista Home Premium, Acer-Aspire. Thanks for any help you can give.

    Hello

    If you have installed a trial or paid a licensed version of Corel software products, you probably may notice a third unannounced software application makes its way into your computer too. The program is PSIService.exe by Protexis, which installs a Protexis V2 of Licensing Windows operating system service or Protexis licensing service.

    PSIService belongs to protect DRM (digital rights management) copy protection and license management software, which is intended to protect an application or software against piracy and illegal copying. Thus PSI service is normally installed by another program, such as Corel Paint Shop Pro Photo X 2, Corel Paint Shop Pro XI (X 1), Corel Paint Shop Pro X, that uses its service to collect information of license to repatriate much like spyware, protect copy and authenticate the user who is using an authentic version of the program.

    When you tried to download and install the program, if the box that says closed the dialog box when the download is complete has been verified, it will close the dialog box.

    I suggest that you restart the computer and check if you get an error message.

During the installation of Windows 10, click on the advanced custom Option and use the command load driver to load the driver for the SCSI drive.

  • How will I know if my new laptop has Windows 8 Pro

    I bought two Dell systems.  One was the M6700 I knew had top Windows 8 Pro and I installed Media Center with the Microsoft product key sent to me.  I went back to the system due to SIGNIFICANT and costly Pro Tech support.  After 26 days, they refused to fix the screen would dim every 3 minutes, saying: "if he wasn't a yellow bang in Device Manager it was not their problem.  The last day, I accidentally found a Dell program that controlled the graphic setting called color Dell Premier.  I decided to go back to the workstation even though it was a great system.  I didn't look forward to 3 years technical support useless and frustrating to a value of $350.

    A month later, I bought an Alienware technical support personnel system is so much better.  I worked with them for years and never had the problems I had with the support of Corp.

    Since it has been a month and I had just finished a factory on the M6700 system restore, I felt that I would have been able to use the product key for the Media Center.  However after working with a Microsoft Tech today for an hour. He seemed to feel that the Media Center button would not work on this system for two possible reasons. 1. what it cannot be Pro Windows 8 or 2. The key somehow was not removed from the M6700 after the factory restore.

    So before having any contact with Pro support, I would like to know how I can tell if this system or does not have Windows 8 Pro.  I don't remember if the Windows 8 Pro showed in the system information report.  Or if she could be considered under control panel - system.  I tried to run the update on the upgrade assessment and who has failed for some reason, saying: it was not available in my country.  What is the United States.  It seems that the system is configured for which English is the language.  Given that I didn't get through a full installation of Windows as if I installed the program as you would if it was Windows 7 system comes through a Microsoft Agreement which I checked and then configure the network online and I logged on.  I was not even given the opportunity to choose the name of system I need to change.

    I'm a little lost at this stage to say the least.  If Microsoft technology could not tell if it is Windows 8 Pro, do not want to assume that the OEM support would be.

    I have the disc that came with the M6700 and I it matched with the disc that came with this system.  Both drives have the same part number and both claim it's for Windows 8 Recovery Media for Windows 8 products.

    So it is a Question of two parts:

    1. How will I know if I have installed Windows 8 Pro &

    2. How can I get my product key Media Center back?

    Thank you for your support.
