"Windows 7 Build 7601 / This copy of Windows is not genuine" on Lenovo
Hi !
After working on my new 64 bit Lenovo L530 for a good 3 months, I get this unusual message that my copy of the Windows 7 Professional OS is not genuine.
The story so far -
- Bought the machine directly from Lenovo through their online store
- Selected option to get Lenovo to downgrade the original OS from Windows 8 to Windows 7 Professional for a fee
- Created Windows 7 recovery discs from partition
- No Windows 8 recovery disc on L530
- No Microsoft CoA / hologram
- Installed McAfee Internet Security
- Up-to-date on all updates / fixes
On calling Lenovo support, I was told that since this is a Windows 8 motherboard with a Windows 7 OS, I was get a copy of Windows 8 recovery CD from Lenovorecovery.com, install Windows 8, activate Windows 8, re-install Windows 7 from the recovery CDs and then re-activate Windows 7.
A Windows 8 recovery CD from lenovorecovery.com costs money. Is there no way to re-activate Windows 7 without going through the above exercise ? Will the above work ? Are there any alternate, less painful solutions ? Help !
I have already backed up my data onto an external drive.
