On an old system that I haven't started up for some time I got this

upon this

As it says I used the CMD (run as administrator) and entered SLMGR
-REARM and hit return. I rebooted and all was well. Now a few days later
I get the same message. Is anyone familiar with a direct fix? I've read
about other fixes but I'd like to get a first hand account of what
really works to set this installation straight.

Thanks for any suggestions.

Get the pirate program "Windows 7 Loader". Whether you used to be legit
or not, it'll shut it up.

I was amused by that download. I don't think I have the brass to use
something that says it's not legit.

I've used it since Windows 7 came out, and never had a problem with it.

I am at a point where I'm more or
less in favor of pirating Windows after all the problems MicroSoft releases.

Windows 10 is free anyway, so even if you don't like piracy, you're not really doing it anymore :-)
