Window 7 home preimum cracked or real?

[jasonhan416]

Hi. I recently got a new computer from someone (not from a store), he said he reformatted the computer.
I forgot to ask him if the window 7 is cracked or real or not.
How do you know if window 7 home premium is real or not?

Additional question.
I was installing Window service pack 1 and after the update, it asked me to reset for additional update or something.
I restarted and it says its updating 1 out of 2 and every 20 or 40% of update, my computer would just restart and continue installing where it left off.
This continuous restarting happened at least 4 or 5 times. After that, it was finished and said welcome and I was finally get to log in.
Is it normal or what?

It is not normal that the computer should restart multiple times during any single update, although that does not necessarily mean that your computer is cracked. Mine has only ever restarted a maximum of 2 times due to multiple updates being installed. You may have installed multiple updates, also.

 

[jasonhan416]

Hmm. since I got this computer couple of days ago, I am installing 5~8 updates per restart. Is that why?

 

[Skylais]

Exactly as he said^ but also right click computer and select properties. Then look near the bottom it should say windows is activated with a product id, and the sticker to the far right.
Here is what mine looks like
and yes it's normal although 4 or 5 restarts isn't the most common.

I am almost positive that it is not cracked. If it is a laptop you can flip it over and match the Product id in that picture with the sticker underneath the laptop. Even if they are not the same, Windows is detecting the os as active and genuine. So no worry's my friend even if it is cracked, it is detected as Genuine. Try matching the product id sticker on the physical shell of the computer if you really want to be sure.

Just a little extra below
Also this is not required but, on that computer look for something called hp support assistant and open it click "maintain", and then click "refresh". It will show you if some updates are available. ex:driver updates.
Another not required, but if you search in the start menu "ccc" and find a sort of red icon Download this to automatically find amd or ati driver updates AMD Driver Autodetect

Most win7 activation cracks work by modifying the MBR or "volume boot sector". Replace them with the default ones and check if still activated.

From recovery environment->command prompt

bootrec/fixmbr
bootrec/fixboot

The only way to know definatively is to generate the MGADIAG report. Follow the steps here:

And then post your MGADIAG report here and I'll take a look for you.

Even if they are not the same, Windows is detecting the os as active and genuine. So no worry's my friend i am almost positive it is not cracked or hacked

From the info given so far it is not possible to guarantee the authenticity of the Windows OS. A later post gives the definitive answer!
Also I would strongly recommend that you don'rt install third party so called driver detectors, they are more trouble than they are worth. This is Window 7 we are talking about not XP. Windows 7 is the best guide to correct drivers. Work on the principle "If it ain't broke, don't fix it" That's better than "If it ain't broke keep fixing it till it is!" That all IMHO, of course!

I don't understand why your calling them third party. Technically they are, but they come preinstalled on the computer. They are from the official website, and really It is not needed, but why not just use what they give you to update your computer to its latest and probably most responsible state. It's not like i was telling him to go use driver genius or anything like that. Please correct me if i am wrong, but i have used Amd's official driver updater on multiple pc's and no problems have occurred. Hp support assistant comes preinstalled on the computer and so does CCC so why would it hurt to use them and update your computer?

Please follow this tutorial and post an MGADiag report - then we can see what the real situation is.

Please also state the Version and Edition of Windows quoted on your COA sticker (if you have one) on the case of your machine (or inside the battery compartment), but do NOT quote the Key on the sticker!

So is the AMD software pre installed on the PC? HP computers are noted for having more bloatware than most. I have to say that I am an advocate of doing a clean install on any new computer to get rid of the bloatware. None of it is needed and any PC will perform much better without it. IMHO That is! Mind you this view is shared by many of the top advisers on this Forum, one in particular guided me through the process and I shall forever be grateful to him!

On HP/Compaq computers bloat is not an issue anymore, just uninstall the trial of norton and its good to go.

Your installation of Windows 7 is counterfeit, I'm afraid - the machine is a year too old to support the OEM_SLP Key in use, which means that there is an activation Exploit present to force acceptance of the Key.
An update you installed has broken part of the exploit and returned the system to normal function - mostly.

 

[Chad Morris]

Thank you for your quick reply is there anything i can do to fix it and where can i report the store for what they have done
