    For the past 3 days I was getting the following message on my desktop : Windows 7 Build 7601 This copy of Windows is not Genuine.

    Just came out of the blue ! I did virus scans, malware etc - nothing. All I did was a Microsoft Office Diagnostics (not Windows!) & a reboot, after this the message was gone ?!

    The installed version of Office is an Enterprise version - which is counterfeit, unless you acquired it through your employer or college.

    It may be that your problem was caused by something conflicting with the Software Protection Service - and the reboot reset it, or your running the diagnostics reset it.
    If Validation failed for any reason, the system could set the notification until a re-validation occurred.

Hi, I have a two-week old, custom built desktop with a genuine OEM version of Windows 7, operating Office 2010. The 'system' sits on an internal SSD and all my documents and files sit on a separate internal disk. One aspect of my backup and recovery strategy is to create a clone of both disks...
