Windows not genuine after laptop not used for a while.
I turned on my Dell laptop after it sat for a while and it said "not genuine". I know it is. It's a retail version of Windows 7 Home Premium. I'll be selling the laptop to a friend (for work) and wanted to do a clean reinstall and was confused when I saw the message.
Should I ignore it and continue with the reinstall or fix the non-genuine message first?
