I started Windows 7 Windows 10 and told me that my copy of Windows 7 is not genuine.

* Original title: Windows 10-7

I ran Windows 7 for 2 years without any problem. I have upgraded to Windows 10 but he could not recognize my CD/DVD burner, so I started Windows 7. Now, after about 6 weeks, I am told that my copy of Windows 7 is not genuine. Does anyone else have this problem?

Thanks to everyone who responded with helpful advice. I finally solved myself by going back to the shop that originally installed Win7 on my computer. They have removed the "non-genuine" copy that I had run without problem for 2 years and installed a copy of 'authentic '.

Thanks again.

  • A Microsoft agent called me and told me that I need to renew my license windows

    A person who is called an agent called me this morning and told me that I need to renew my license of windows 7. The operating system provided with the computer when I bought it from Tigerdirect (and he got his inventory directly from asus) and I think he has a great chance of being a scam. He said a life time license costs $100 and I want to ask you if Microsoft really has this kind of agents and if I should trust him?

    There are a lot of these current scams.  Microsoft does not make unsolicited calls:

  • 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.

    These discs can somehow convince Windows that my installation is legitimate?

    is your computer HP no. had an OEM license, and may not be transferred to another computer.  Try to use these discs to the computer somehow on-the-job will ensure that you will never fix your activation problem.

    - - - - - - - - - - - -

    In your new question, it might be advisable to use activation by telephone.  You can get the number to use by typing slui 4 [not only slui] in your search box of the start menu.

    There might be a technical problem that needs fixing first, so you could wait and the advice.  There are problems in other parts of the system that can destroy havoc of activation as having a substantially incorrect clock time.

  • Windows 7 is not genuine, once the computer has been infected by the virus of Ransomware

    Please can I have help from someone.

    Some time ago I was surfing the net when I came across a website, my naiveté made me click on it only to be greeted by a virus. The round about three months my computer was inaccessible. So I left him alone. To unlock a sum of £100 to be paid. I have it has not paid and after the months I had access to my computer again. But all was not how I expected I would soon find a virus, which Windows Security Essentials found and eliminated, thus to discover my version of Windows was not legitimate. So a ball of activation popped up and told me that within thirty days in that my windows activation key should be included. But as I've already said, I had a good no hacked legitimate version of windows before the incident.

    So now all I ask if this can be taken seriously until I spent the time to write this, hope that my problem could be solved.

Dell, HP, Toshiba, Sony, computers etc that come with the use of Windows 7 a pre-activation SLP/OA 2.1 System. This system requires a BIOS with an SLP/SLIC 2.1 table to activate a SLP 2.1 OEM Windows 7 product key and a "certificate" of SLP 2.1 OEM.
