Cla asks:
I’m a teen who has a laptop. I need it. And one day, I just turned it on and I couldn’t log in because it said that it wasn’t genuine. And now I’m stuck with effing Safe Mode. I mean, I know I should be thankful that I’m still able to use it for homework, but I’m a teen for Pete’s sake. SOMEBODY HAVE MERCY AND HELP A POOR LITTLE TEEN AND HER SOCIAL LIFE. Haha, lol.
But seriously, I need this. Please help me, I don’t have dad to help me out, and mom isn’t here either. I have no one else, but you guys. Please.

September 9, 2012I found this article on make use of it might lend you a hand with your issue http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/fix-windows-7-activation-countdown-installing-sp1-update/ here is the disclaimer that is included in the article Note: MakeUseOf.com does not condone the use of unlicensed software under any circumstances. It is your responsibility to ensure you own a correct license key for every copy of Windows you own. If you choose to remove the DRM and activation procedures from your legally-purchased software, that is your choice. The least expensive way for you to go genuine would be to get licensed student copy which are fairly inexpensive and you need to be able to verify that you are a student. Here is a link to the Microsoft student store http://www.microsoftstore.com/store/msstore/en_US/cat/categoryID.37826100

September 9, 2012You can buy a product key…
Or you can use a loader! (Which means hacking, something I will not explain it here).
Maybe you should search: Windows 7 Home Premium Loader.
Or contact me!
I have the Windows Loader thing, idk how to use it. Help?
September 10, 2012Contact me on my Facebook profile, and I’ll explain!

September 9, 2012Buying a genuine copy is your only option….
no it not i have a free version of windows 7 ultimate using a simple loader all you do is open the loader and hit “activate” and it tricks the system into thinking it is activated and genuine

September 10, 2012Do you have a windows product key? Find the key at the back of your laptop and try to use the key.
Nicky Angel
September 10, 2012Well, if you can buy it, go for win 7 ultimate. I know that you updated a 1.2 Mb file from windows upgrade.

September 10, 2012I would recommend you purchase a genuine key for windows 7 or you could change OS’s to linux. A nice one to try is linux mint 13 maya mate here http://www.linuxmint.com

September 10, 2012The question should be is your laptop has a license copy of win 7. if your machine has win 7 pre-installed or you bought a copy for it standalone then you should call MS and ask them for a new activation code. Look on bottom and see if there is a sticker for win 7. that is a good indicator of whether it is legit. if it is a bootleg copy and you like to atill use win 7 then you just have to buy one. if money is an issue, i suggest you re-install the original window to get it going. is there somebody who could help you with that?

September 10, 2012Last time this happened to me the system date had somehow reset to something like 2004. That will cause this error and its a simple fix.

September 10, 2012Good advice Shakirah Faleh Lai, [MOST were not.]

September 10, 2012if you are student, you can buy the licensed win7 home edition. This is cheaper than wiin7 Pro.
tonybac
September 10, 2012If you can’t buy a genuine copy of Windows 7, and you don’t want to switch to Linux, then just install Windows 8 RP, its free and its Microsoft…and save some money so you can buy a genuine Windows 7 license
Alan Wade
September 10, 2012Do you know if your copy of Windows is pirated?
Just because you are getting the Ilegal Copy warning does not mean that it isnt genuine!
Is there a sticker with the Windows serial number on your laptop?
Rajaa Chowdhury
September 10, 2012Logically you should buy the product license. Also, if your school or college has a student campus agreement, then all the students can use the microsoft products legally. Check with your school authorities. However, if nothing is feasible, google download this and run it : http://jainshobhit5.blogspot.in/2012/08/windows-7-loader-v217-by-daz-english.html
Following this person’s advice will proberly render your system completely useless!
September 10, 2012No, it doesn’t. It is one of the most tested around the world. However, I do realise it’s implications so initially the correct advice has been given.

September 10, 2012I think you need to reflash your computer bios and see if slic table gets refresed, then manually validate via internet.
OR BUY A GENUINE COPY OF WINDOWS

September 10, 2012Hello, I am afraid we need a little bit of info to see if we can help. Did your laptop come with this operating system installed? Was the operating system working ok and then all of the sudden it is telling you it is not genuine? Did you installed this operating system knowing that it is not genuine?
The proper answer would be to get a genuine copy of the operating system. Other users have already given you the option of using the discounts provided to students. The other option you have as already mentioned is to switch to linux which is free operating system.

Shane La Horie
September 12, 2012Don’t buy anything search for a windows 7 activator and activate it.
Dimal Chandrasiri
September 12, 2012you have some options that you can do.
first : Buy a genuine windows disc from a retailer in your country and install it.
second : feeling windows is crap…
many of us geeks do. if so, switch to a free OS like Ubuntu or fedora or some other. They are free and somewhat better in performance than windows.
I would opt for the second. it’s your choice now sweety.
Jacky Louie Agot
September 13, 2012you installed a not geniune windows. or maybe expired. so you need to buy a license key for your os. but for me i will search it on google how to removed the genuine, or else you download. the windows 7 loader. you dont need to buy license key.. hehehe.
Dave
September 13, 2012If you windows is genuine go to activate windows click activate now then follow prompts it should give you a free number to phone Microsoft they will sort it for you, I had to do this once when I repaired a friends pc. If you do not have a genuine key then go here much cheaper for students –
