Default “This copy of Windows is not genuine”

On an old system that I haven't started up for some time I got this
message at the lower right of my screen. I searched for a fix and came
upon this
http://temcam.com/2013/10/25/how-to-...genuine-error/

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.

Al.

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

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

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

Some people have employment and do not need to pirate software.
You are long term unemployed and always will be.

If the guy is as much of a troll as you say he is, why the hell are you engaging

I think there should be a version of Windows called Windows Senior for
us oldies that's free. I wonder how many users that would generate.
Then for the real old times they could release Windows 1932.

That's what I'm looking for. Someone that has fixed this other than so
many cures that are suggested. I've read about the Activation process
but this install has been activated to that's not on the top of my list.

To me it seems like there should be a quick fix that directly address
this issues that resulted from this bug.

You can activate it through Microsoft and pay them $$. If you are positive the
copy you have is legit, you can call MS and try to hash it out with them.
Personally, I would not have the patience to jump through those hoops.

I don't have any desire to do what shouldn't be needed to do in the
first place. I paid for several Win7 disks and again when I used the
instant upgrade to Ultimate. Each must have cost quite a bit if I added
it all up. I have nothing but retail versions and did the installs
myself. So, yes, I'm sure they are legit.

I wasn't aware that Activation a second time would cost me more money
so that's another reason I won't be doing that.

thanks for the reply Tough Guy no. 1265.

Maybe if enough people (if that many can) do it, MS would learn not to
make Windows so annoying. Probably not.

Of course I'm NOT recommending it to get put of paying. Sometimes you
have to do it to USE what you already paid for.
