• computer turned on today and he said that my copy of windows is not genuine-why?

  When I went today only my computer says that "your copy of windows vista is not genuine" then why say build 6002. Do not understand that I bought the computer with vista installed. It was beautiful last night and I for about 4 years.

  

  Currently, your copy of windows vista is not activated. If you have the product key with you, you can activate your copy of windows.

  You can find your product key on your computer or inside the Windows package installer disk-based.

  Type SLUI in the search box and press ENTER key

  Follow the directions on screen to activate windows

  You can activate online or by phone. You need an Internet connection to activate online. Activation by phone requires interacting with an automated phone system.

• I have a message in the lower corner of my screen saying that my copy of windows is not genuine.

  * Original title: product key issue

  I have received a more laptop from a friend and wanted to return to factory settings, because he didn't have the necessary disks, I contacted officials of the laptop with the brand and the model that took place in the origin of vista.  They sent me back discs for windows 7 with a product key, but when I installed it I learned the product key is temporary and would not work. Because the laptop is older, the product key on the back of the laptop is now unreadable.  I now have a message in the lower corner of my screen saying that my copy of windows is not genuine.

  Any ideas would be greatly appreciated

  S.Erskine

  If it's a temporary product key, your only option is to buy a genuine full license.

  You can find software OEM System Builder of dozens of online merchants. The current price for OEM Windows 7 Professional Newegg, for example, is $ 140. When I checked a few minutes ago, Amazon offered packages OEM Windows 7 Professional from several vendors at prices ranging from $ 101 to $ 150. When I checked earlier, a package specifically designed for reconditioned PCs cost only $ 50 for a 64-bit copy.

  There is no technical limitation to prevent you from using OEM software on your computer, although this software only works for a clean install, not an upgrade. In the past, Microsoft has been remarkably inconsistent in his advice to clients on the question of whether this practice is allowed. (See "is allowed to use Windows OEM on your own PC? Don't ask Microsoft. »)

• Microsoft keeps tellingmy that my copy of Windows is not genuine!

  Windows 7 Home premium 64-bit

  This is the same operation SystemI have had on this computer for the past 6 years, since I bought it all first!  Nothing has changed!  I had no repairs!  There was a Windows Update yesterday and I thought that this could be the problem I did a system restore point before.  That did not help.

  I remember at one point, it says that an update today could not get through and that my copy of windows is not genuine.

  I'm getting pretty annoyed with Microsoft.  They tried to push Windows 10 discount on me for months now and I refuse continuously.  They tried some devious stuff as if we were trying to tell me again and again that my hard drive is about to fail.  I had the drive hard Sentinel and it shows me that my hard drive is 100% excellent health and performance right now, where a week ago, it is 0% and is about to fail.  He did it again and again for a year now, ready to fail a week, then the other it is still 100% perfect once, this has happened since MS came out with Win 10 and wanted everyone to download it for FREE!

  My system information file says I have Win 7 Home premium and it came from Microsoft, so I don't know what to tell them, but they tell ME that I can't get more updates until I install a new Windows OS.

  This is total BS!

  How do I stop this and recognize it as the same operating system that it has always been for the last 6 years?

  Complain do not solve your problem. This type of problem arises for various reasons including:

  1. Malware infestation.

  2. Changing or adding a device installed.

  3. Corruption of the system.
