My notebook says it's windows is not genuine

I got this notebook some weeks ago, it already had Windows 7 Installed already when I got it from the manufacturer, so it is supposed to be an original install, the only thing I've modified on windows was downloading and installing SP1, yet now I get this annoying pop up window saying that my notebook isn't running genuine Windows ... which wasn't there since I bought it (like 6 weeks ago) until the last few days ... does anybody how to solve this?

And yeah the link on the pop up gets me to a page where it says I have to buy a new copy of windows ... like HUH?

Did you try activating with the Product Key on COA sticker on borrom of machine (behind the battery on Dell)?

You have manufacturer's tech support and full warranty for the first year, so I would call them to square you away. They must provide you with COA sticker and proper activation.

Tlakoyo, posting the same thread twice will not solve your problem. I told you this in the last thread, here it is again. This is what the log shows.

Because of this windows thinks its non-genuine. The solution is to run sfc scan a few times to repair these files, then validate at the MS genuine website.

SFC /SCANNOW Command - System File Checker

Also, as with many Pre-Activated OEM machines you may simply need to Re-Validate your copy of Windows.

The reason for this message is that in order for OEM's to mass ship machines they're installed with Pre-Activated copies that have had the Activation Technologies files altered to display the Attachment 148282. SP1 changes the original files back to how they should have been which is why you're seeing the message.


OS

Sorry Jeff but that is incorrect. OEM pre-activation does not alter licensing files, neither does SP1 "changes the original files back". SP1 does not affect activation.

Tampered licensing files are usually the result of some cracks that work by zombeifying activation files. However, on a few occasions I have seen it happen when a saved image is restored.

If the laptop has a COA sticker, activate with the Product Key on the sticker after verifying System Files integrity as Bill2 suggests. SFC -SCANNOW Command

If you bought your laptop 6 weeks ago from a store, you have one-year tech support to help you with this.

If it has a COA sticker for your installed OS, then it should activate with the key on sticker or else you have been defrauded.

Where did you buy your laptop, and what happens when you try to activate with COA key?

Windows randomly popped up saying that I don't have a genuine key :/
