“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. |

Whether you used to be legit or not, it'll shut it up. |

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

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. |

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

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. |
