This copy of windows is not Genine? - Sanju - 02-21-2013 11:33 AM
I don't know what happened...But today when i opened my lap, it showed the following error on the right-bottom corner of my desktop:
"Windows 7
Build 7601
This copy of windows is not Genuine"
Mine is a Dell Studio 15 laptop which came with preloaded version of Windows 7 Home Premium(64-bit). I Purchased it directly from dell showroom in Chennai, India, through one of my relatives 2 years ago. It didn't have any problem when i shut it down yesterday... It's 100% Genuine version. Does Microsoft deactivate windows after some years??? I'm sure I've not installed it on any other computer or given the product ID to anyone.
Please help me sort this problem out!

pirated copy of windows, u need to buy it again or just Use cracks available to make pirated copy to a full version , my answer will get reported if I recommended piracy but still
another tip : keep your automatic update off so Microsoft won't detect piracy

Dell laptops come with service tag printed on sticker at bottom of laptop.
Contact the Dell India helpline at 1-800-425-4026 (toll free) or 080-2506-8026 during business hours. Give them your service tag and purchase proofs to investigate the issue.
