Hi , the question is easy , is better to activae Win Update ? I recently format the PC , and my Windows is not genuine ( i mean , is a activated copy ) , so if i activae Win Update , can i have issued with the genuine ? Thanks

You are more likely to have problems with a non-activated system than with an activated one, since only security updates are available when the system is non-genuine, and there are other restrictions on what a non-genuine system can do (as well as having a nag-screen all the time, and a black background)

That statement is wrong on so many counts I won't bother attempting to address it other than to say
1) You MUST activate Windows 7 if you expect to use it - you're breaking the terms of the contract that you agreed to when you installed it, and can be prosecuted accordingly, otherwise.
2) Updating Windows is essential, in order to keep your system running slmoothly, and reduce the likelihood of getting infected by viruses or malware

Good - any problems, post back.
