Windows says that it is not genuine. How do I fix this?
Microsoft has recently been validating all copies of Windows 7, and they have been experiencing difficulties much like yours. I know how frusturating it can be when Windows says that it's not for real when you know that it is! Here is how to fix your problem:
- In the search bar, type "Activate Windows" and choose Activate Windows.
- Select "Activate Online Now".
- Type in your product key, located on the bottom of your laptop on the Microsoft sticker or at the rear or side of your desktop.
- Hit OK and let Windows activate.
- You now have a fully functional version of Windows, that won't give you any more trouble.
