I bought my HP laptop from Best Buy with windows 7 already installed. It is now claiming that windows 7 is not genuine and needs to be reactivated. I don't have a product key to activate it since it came already activated. I don't really know what to do. Is there any information I should give you guys to help out? My windows 7 version is actually home premium 64 bit.

Thanks in advance.

Please follow this tutorial and post an MGADiag report - then we can see what the problem 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quoted on your COA sticker (if you have one) on the case of your machine (or inside the battery compartment), but do NOT quote the Key on the sticker!

You have a Trusted Store Tamper.
This is often caused by malware - or by overactive AV's! (Which AV are you using?)



Please first try recreating Licensing Store.

Recreate the Licensing Store
Go to Start > All Programs > Accessories
Right-Click on Command Prompt and select Run as Administrator - accept the UAC prompt
Run the following commands in the Command Prompt window, using the Enter key at the end of each

net stop sppsvc
(wait until the service has stopped before entering the following lines)

CD %windir%\ServiceProfiles\NetworkService\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\SoftwareProtectionPlatform
REN tokens.dat tokens.bar
net start sppsvc
slui.exe

After a couple of seconds the Windows Activation dialog will appear.
You may be asked to re-activate and/or re-enter your product key, or Activation may occur automatically.
If you are asked for your Key, use the one on the COA sticker on the machine's case

Reboot and Post back with a new MGADiag report

Okay did that. I wasn't sure if any window was supposed to pop up after running "CD %windir%\ServiceProfiles\NetworkService\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\SoftwareProtectionPlatform
REN tokens.dat tokens.bar
net start sppsvc
slui.exe"

No window popped up after running that, But I'm not sure if any window was supposed to. It did seem successful however I am still getting told that windows 7 is still not genuine.

Okay, because you said everything appeared to be fine, I restarted my computer and nothing seems to be wrong anymore. I am not getting the constant message that windows 7 is not genuine and that watermark on the screen saying the same disappeared.

I use Windows Security Essentials. Is that good? Or is there a better one?

Also, Why would windows 7 suddenly claim to be not genuine? What went wrong. If it is simple to explain, it would be interesting to know!

thank you so much for your help!

Here is the system info again just in case!

That looks fine.
I suspect that the problem may have arisen because of overzealous cleanup somewhere.

Are you using any form of Registry 'cleaner' or 'optimiser'?

MSE is fine - it's what I use myself, with no problems.

i don't use a registry cleaner, I would probably mess something up.
Maybe the computer needed to be updated? It did a bios update as soon as everything was working again
thanks!

Good - NEVER use a registry cleaner, as it really knows less about your registry than you do!

BIOS updates don't normally come through on Windows updates?

It more or less came through on my HP's update. It was just bundled with tons of windows 7 updates

It may have come through the HP updater - but I never heard of one coming through normal Windows updates.
Whatever - so long as things are working properly (still!) that's what matters :)
