This copy of Windows is not genuine.

Mikey · 06-19-2011, 06:31 PM

Ok so I have windows 7 that came with my laptop (its legit i have a product cd key sticker on the bottom) but I lost the cd.

So I borrowed my friend's cd, reinstalled windows on my laptop and gave him back the cd.

And now for some reason I keep getting this 'This copy of Windows if not genuine' notice. I click it and it brings me online and tells me to buy a new one and I don't see a spot where I can just punch in my product key.

Help anyone??

nah it should be fine, i've always been able to update since using that tool. it removes the tool that checks to see if its genuine when you update.

i had pirated copies on 2 old computers before i got a new one. one of them kept working but the other one kept giving me problems....u never know what your getting with pirated shit- it might be chinese people watching your every keystroke.

so as long as you dont type in chinese you should be cool

o yea i remembered why i came in here. the other solution would to reset your comp to factory settings then the original windows should be reinstalled. but save all your shit first on a hd.

fuck you don't even see it do you?

Why the chinese buddy? I think there's a chance all your passwords and accounts are already owned. Probably by some white dude with enough disposable income to buy computer shit.

well it worked for a while, but with the last windows update I'm back to square one it's giving me the 'this copy of windows is not genuine...' schpeal.

I downloaded the same thing again ^ but it said it's already installed so now what can I do?

Use Windows Loader (torrent it) and:

Quote:

Do you have the WAT update installed, KB971033? If yes you may have got flagged as non-genuine. In order to become genuine again just do the following.

* Launch the loader application and select to uninstall
* Restart the PC
* Install the loader and restart the PC
* Visit the following website to revalidate Windows: Microsoft Windows

####

Is Windows failing to boot after you installed the loader? Just do the following.

* Boot up the PC from your Windows installation disk
* Select the "Repair your computer" option
* Select "Command Prompt"
* Input "bootsect.exe /nt60 SYS /force" (without quotes)
* Restart the PC

Note: If the above doesn't fix your boot issue then use the command "bootsect.exe /nt60

Has worked for me 100% with Windows updates, duel booted Windows 7 on a 2010 MBP.
