• Your copy of Windows is not genuine

  Windows 10 has been automatically downloaded on my computer.  I had heard some disturbing results of this upgrade and was happy with Windows 7.  So, I uninstalled Windows 10.  Big mistake.  Since the uninstaller, I have a permanent message on my screen that my copy of Windows is not genuine. I bought this computer used five years ago in a computer repair shop.  I have no problems with Microsoft update my software for five years until what I uninstalled 10.  Now my computer restarts every 10 minutes.  Fixes for this problem.  I don't know what is my product key.  Thank you for your help in advance.

  To analyze and solve problems for Activation and Validation, we need to see a full copy of the diagnostic report produced by the MGADiag tool (download and save to the desktop -http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=52012 )
  Once downloaded, run the tool.
  Click on the button continue, after a short time, continue button will change to a copy button.
  Click the copy button in the tool (ignore the error at this stage) and then paste (with r-click and paste or Ctrl + V) in your message.

  My PC has become recently infected with a Trojan Hider, I am trying to completely remove malware and recovered all features that was initially lost such as access to the forums microsoft-software-virus.

• Windows 7 build 7600 this copy of Windows is not genuine. Can anyone help?

  I changed the hard drives on my computer because my old computer broke down on me. Now, I get a Windows 7 build 7600 this copy of Windows is not genuine. Can anyone help?

  You use a key of windows 7 OEM SLP but your bios has a marker of Vista.

  Your bios date 17/02/2009 is too old for a marker windows 7.
  I suspect that you tried to move the license OEM windows 7 on another computer. An OEM license is not transferable.
  You can buy a new copy of windows 7.
  Additional information:

  Computers, which are built by large manufacturers provided with pre-installed Windows are supplied with 2 two product keys:

  (A) OEM SLP: this key comes pre-installed in Windows, when it comes to the factory. This key is designed to work with the special instructions isn't on the hardware of this manufacturer. Then, when Windows was installed using the OEM SLP (in factory) Windows 7 key leans on the motherboard and he sees special instructions and activates. (that's why you had no need to turn on your computer after you brought it home)

  (B) SLP COA: it's the product key that you see on the sticker on the side (or at the bottom, [or in the battery compartment]) of your computer. It is a valid product key, but must be used only in certain situations (for example, if the OEM SLP key stops automatic activation for a reason any). The key must be activated by phone. (Note: all manufacturers that use the SLP OEM system are bound by contract to include a certificate of Authenticity sticker (COA), which has a COA SLP key, on the computer)

  > How can I get a copy?
  If your laptop was initially shipped with Win7 preinstalled and you want to now order original Toshiba Recovery disk for your laptop that you can do it on https://backupmedia.toshiba.eu/landing.aspx
  >... where I can find a product key that I use to activate windows?
  You can not find it. I put t understand your question. If you use OS Toshiba you n t need activation code, but if not you and if pre-installed OS is installed with the installation of Microsoft disk you need to pay for a valid license.

  All the time, you're in the magic circle. You always ask the same question, but somehow, you don t read what other people write here. Please read another thread - http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/message.jspa?messageID=262518

• "Build 6002: this copy of Windows is not genuine".

  Hello world...

  I've had my TOSHIBA Satellite L40-139 for more than a year. She was purchased by PC World and came with a preinstalled version of Windows Vista Edition Home Premium. I don't have the disc that came with the laptop, but the Windows installed is genuine.

  I went to install Vista Service Pack 2 after you download. I restarted my laptop only to find my desktop wallpaper disappeared and was replaced with a black background and the following text in the lower right of the desktop:

  Windows Vista (TM)
  Build 6002
  This copy of Windows is not genuine

  She was followed by a pop-up with two options, 'Activate now' or 'Activate later', followed by a pop up an error that says Windows must be reinstalled as a "unauthorized modification were made...". Please insert the CD or DVD. If I press 'Activate now' he's just another pop up that says I can contact TOSHIBA. If I click on the link it will just a standard screen for "help!"

  I don't know what to do... I have the sticker intact COA product key and tried to enter, but she returned with various errors. It's like as soon as I installed service pack 2 I had problems. Yet once again, I don't have Vista or a toshiba recovery disk (I don't even know if it came with one). I tried to restore Windows, but it returns with the same screens!

  Help!

  PS. is the Toshiba support line a toll-free number? Does anyone know a number that is free to call mobile phones? (I don't have a landline).

  Your model of laptop is not delivered with the recovery disk, but with recovery image stored on the HARD drive. In s manuals document clearly describes that you must fund recovery DVD only tool preinstalled Toshiba recovery disc creator.

  Version of the OS pre-installed (Toshiba recovery image factory settings) is definitely authentic and I really don t understand how it can happen. I mean thousands of people do the same update, and there is no other claim on similar problems.

  Anyway, if you didn t create recovery disk you can try now is to reinstall the OS using the HDD recovery procedure. How to do this you can read in document http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/HTD9102IR0000R01.htm Toshiba FAQ
  This will remove all HARD drive, extract second partition so if you have some important data backup.

  If it will not let me know.

• Re: message "this copy of Windows is not genuine".

  Hello, this morning the following message appeared as my wallpaper:

  "Windows 7".
  Build 7600
  This copy of Windows is not genuine ".

  Windows was preinstalled on my laptop (i.e. is authentic).
  I searched Microsoft, their solution is to run RSoP.msc - when I try to do, I gives me the message "Windows cannot find ' RSoP.msc". "

  Can anyone help?

  Thanks in advance.

  Hey,.

  And what Toshiba laptop you have exactly?

  Windows 7 preinstalled or another OS?
  This product key, you can find on the lower side of your computer?

• "This copy of Windows is not genuine".

  My family has owned this office for six years now. It runs Windows Vista Home Premium, Service Pack 2, and it was recorded and works fine until this morning.

  Today, I was invited with a dialog box to activate Windows, and my desktop background has been replaced by a black screen with "Windows Vista (TM) / Build 6002 / this copy of Windows is not genuine" in the lower right corner. All my system restore points are missing.

  The computer seems to work very well, but the warning indicates that the operating system should be registered 'today', so I don't know what will happen otherwise.

  When I clicked to activate my copy of Windows, a guest said that the activation key is not valid for registration and provides a link to 'contact the Hewlett-Packard Company to fix this', so here I am.

  There are many results of this online version, but they all seem to suggest reinstalling Windows from the drive and store all our data elsewhere (we do have one large enough to handle this drive), or using a system restore point (which, let us remember, disappeared).

  I would like to know what my options are. Thank you.

  JJokerDude, welcome to the forum.

  It is a problem best solved by Customer Service of Microsoft.  They have all the information they need to know that your copy of Vista is valid.  They helped me several times with similar situations.

  As an Overclocker, I installed and uninstalled Windows many times.  Microsoft will only allow us to activate our copies online a limited number of times.  It must be so, call them to get activated.

  Please, click on "Thumbs Up +" if I helped you and click "Accept as Solution" If your problem is resolved.

  Hi Lisa,

  1. What is the number of brand and model of your computer?

  2 have you made any changes to the computer before the show?

  If that solves the problem, try the steps and see them below.

  (1) open an Internet browser window.
  (2) type: %windir%\system32 in the browser's address bar.
  (3) find the CMD.exe file
  (4) make a right click on CMD.exe and select "Run as Administrator"
  (5) type: net stop slsvc (it may ask you if you're sure, select Yes)
  (6) type: cd %windir%\ServiceProfiles\NetworkService\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\SoftwareLicensing
  (7) type: Rename tokens.bar tokens.dat
  (8) type: cd %windir%\system32
  (9) type: net start slsvc
  (10) type: cscript slmgr.vbs - FLIR (it may take time for this will be complete, please be patient)
  (11) restart your computer twice.
  (12) you may need to enter you product key and activate it. (remember to use the key listed on the sticker on the computer and use the activation by phone method)

  I hope that the above information is useful!

  Thank you for your answer, I found the Sticker with the key to re - activate my windows and where so good. But what intrigues me is, that? I did not any changes to my computer either, if what's causing this error message? Thanks a lot for your answer. Lisa

  Hello

  There are several methods to reinstall Vista.

  See which way suits you.

  There is no Windows Vista downloads available from Microsoft.

  You can contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send you a set of recovery disks.

  They should do this for a small fee.

  To reinstall Vista using their recovery disk/s, you start from the 1st recovery disk they provide and follow the manufacturer's instructions to reinstall:

  You need to change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order:

  And if you have never received a recovery disk when you bought your computer, there should be a recovery Partition on the hard drive to reinstall Vista on how you purchased your computer.

  The recovery process can be started by pressing a particular combination of the key or keys at startup. (Power on / start)

  Maybe it's F10, F11, Alt + F10, etc., depending on the manufacturer.

  Ask them to the proper key sequence.

  And if you do not score a manufacturer of recovery on your hard drive, you should be able to make your own recovery from her disks to reinstall the operating system.

  Go to programs > name of the manufacturer of your computer > then their system or recovery tools software topics for them, depending on how it is formulated.

  If you can't find any reference to it, contact the manufacturer for advice on how to make these recovery disks.

  Some manufacturers have more available Vista recovery disks.

  If this happens, you may need to try this instead:

  You can also borrow and use a Microsoft Vista DVD, which contains the files for the different editions of Vista (Home Basic, Home Premium, Business and Ultimate) must be installed. The product key on your computer / Laptop box determines what Edition is installed.

  Other manufacturers recovery DVDs are should not be used for this purpose.

  And you need to know the version of 'bit' for Vista, as 32-bit and 64-bit editions come on different DVDs
