I bought a laptop on 3/11/11. It came with windows 7 premium. I did a clean install of Windows 7 Ultimate about 1 week later. I activated windows no problem. At times during using the laptop, I had checked to verify Windows was legitimate. It always said YES!!
Last night I noticed I lost my Desktop setup. In the lower right hand corner it says»Windows7 Build 7601. This copy is not legitimate.
I filled out the form form for Counterfeit software. They want me to send the Product key sticker and The certificate of Authenticity along with DVD and Bill of sale. They said they may replace it if I was ripped off. Everything looks real from the markings on DVD, Product key and Certificate, along with packaging.
Why was I able to use This version of windows for 1 1/4 years with no problems? I updated defender and ran a scan. I noticed this after the download? I do not think it has anything to do with the situation.
Can someone give me the number to call Microsoft for activation. I looked online and can not locate it. It seems the only way is when you activate and have problems it will give you a number to call.
I appreciate any help. I need to use this Laptop with all my files , email accounts, etc.
Thank In Advance

The most likely explanation is that you have been sold a copy of Windows which has a corporate license which has now expired. Did the disk and cover look genuine and did it come with a MS printed serial?

Also, check the border of the disc, it should be holographic and where it says «Microsoft», if tilted it will say «Genuine»
If it doesn’t have the holographic border, it’s not genuine.

It was genuine. I checked everything that Microsoft says to look for. It has everything that a genuine Microsoft windows Ultimate should have.

Если вы видите это сообщение, значит, произошла проблема с загрузкой файлов в стилей (CSS) нашего сайта. Попробуйте сбросить кэш браузера (Ctrl+F5).
Если это не поможет, а вы находитесь в регионе, где возможны ограничения интернет-трафика с российских серверов — воспользуйтесь VPN.

На компе появилась надпись «Ваша копия Windows 7 не является подлинной. Сборка 7601». Это как-то влияет на работоспособность системы?

Появилась где-то месяцев 5-6 назад в правом нижнем углу. Через месяц заставка стала чёрной. Вызвала программиста. Взял 1,5 тыс. Поставил второй Виндовс и тоже 7. Старый не удалил. Всё то время заходила только через новую версию.

Сейчас и у второго появилась эта наднись, но заставка пока цветная и выключаться стал гораздо дольше.

А вчера, попробовала зайти через старую версию и с удивлением заметила, что там тоже всё так же работает.

Т.е. выходит, если чёрный экран не напрягает (вижу я его только вначале, остальное время комп используется только под инет и в привычном режиме), то ничего особо делать и не надо?

Сразу скажу, что проги всякие не помогли и удаление автообновлевния тоже.

Пользуйтесь и дальше, система будет работать, если ещё пару раз «удачно» не обновитесь.Чаще всего пользователь лишается права архивации и установки обоев(квадрат Малевича).В принципе обновляться можно, но не все обновления нужно ставить.Приведу те, которые нужно удалить, если уж они установились на вашем ПК и кривой системе.

KB971033 — это предупреждение о активации, ваш случай.

Убийцы ОС — KB2872339; KB2859537; KB2882822.

Обновления, которые могут принести существенный вред — KB2862330; KB2864058; KB2965768; KB2993651; KB2982791; КВ2973201; КВ2970228; КВ2975719; КВ2975331; KB3133977

Грозит тем, что система признана не подлинной, и не будет обновляться. Но тут важно понимать, для чего она Вам. Если с помощью этой системы, Вы зарабатываете деньги ( она стоит на рабочем компьютере ), тогда она является средством производства, и в случае проверки у Вас могут быть серьезные проблемы. Если же она дома, и служит для личных целей, то этот фактор значения не имеет. У меня стоит так же пиратская версия. Которая, правда, сломана таким образом, что может обновляться. Однако, я этого не делаю. Объясню почему. Большую часть этих обновлений занимают базы для внутренних систем безопасности. Однако они столь не эффективны в условиях России, что пользуются ими только фанаты Майкрсофта, или те, кто просто поверил на слово, что так и надо. Более менее грамотные пользователи пользуются программами сторонних разработчиков. Они полностью выполняют свои функции. Они так же платные, но за эти деньги Вы получите продукт который ни в какое сравнение не идет с предлагаемым Майкрософтом. Так же в обновлениях могут быть разного рода библиотеки типа Microsoft .NET Framework и тому подобное. Они и так доступны для скачивания на сайте Майкрософта бесплатно. За 18 лет использования ОС Windows, я ни разу их не обновляла. Вернее по началу обновляла, но потом поняла что занимаюсь ерундой, и прекратила. При наличии нормального сетевого экрана, а так же подсети, все это не потребуется. На одной машине у меня до сих пор стоит Windows XP, и без всяких обновлений прекрасно работает, хотя ее поддержка производителем прекращена еще при царе. Лучшим выходом для Вас будет обзавестись уже активированным дистрибутивом с проверенной надежностью работы. я испробовала около 2 десятков, и в итоге пришла к выводу, что наиболее стабильный тот, что в сети известен под названием «Win7.x86-x64.Rus-Eng.18in1.Activated». А Вашему «программисту» надо руки оторвать, которые все равно у него растут не из того места, а после сохранить все нужное с диска «С», все снести, и поставить нормальную ОС.

Если компьютер домашний, то в принципе проблем нет (если конечно Вас это устраивает). Если же копия не является подлинной на рабочем компьютере — то тут у того же начальства могут возникнуть проблемы конкретно к Вам. Могут возникнуть проблемы с обновлением или работоспособностью самого компьютера. Проще всего найти знающего человека в ближайшем окружении. Или отнести в сервис, где за определенную плату проблему устранят.

P.S: Тут писали про активаторы и другие программы — тоже неплохой вариант для решения проблемы.

Если Вас не будет мучать совесть и данная копия Windows установлена на домашнем, а не корпоративном компьютере, то можете не волноваться и спать спокойно. «Черная метка» Microsoft означает отсутствие поддержки со стороны компании и ее партнеров, грозит не получением обновлений и критически важных обновлений безопасности.

Установите антивирусник и пригласите нормального компьютерщика, уведомление о нелицензионности удаляется и для этого необязательно переустанавливать Windows.

Существуют так называемые контрафактные системы. Иначе говоря, вы можете установить себе на компьютер систему заведомо зная, что она нелицензионная, а можете купить её вместе с компьютером, искренне считая, что все впорядке. Более того, вам могут сказать, что все нормально и система лицензионная. Соответствено вас, как конечного пользователя сложно обвинить в том, что вы используете нелицензионное программное обеспечение. Однако Майкрософт отслеживает лицензионные ключи и может заблокировать те из них, которые нарушают условия лицензии. Если у вас система, для которой использован такой ключ, то вы получите сообщение о том, что система не является подлинной. Это будет та же самая Windows 7, с присущей ей работоспособностью, но теперь вы будете знать, что по какой-то причине нарушаете условия лицезирования. И, конечно же, это может повлиять, например, на получение обновлений, официальной технической поддержки и т.п..

В общем то ничем это не грозит. Отключите обновления винды, отключите передачу данных майкрософт. Ну если очень хотите, то можете переустановить операционную систему. Не так уж это и сложно сделать самостоятельно. Две винды одной версии на компьютере это лишнее. На мой взгляд. Возможно, что именно это причина долгого выключения.

В интернете есть много разных активаторов для ОС Виндовс.Скачать их можно хоть с файлообменников , хоть с торрентов .Система активируется буквально в пару-тройку кликов.Сами не можете — попросите кого-нибудь из знакомых , это ведь задачка для первоклассника.

А вашего «программиста», при встрече, пошлите по адресу куда даже таксисты не ездят. Если вы правильно описали его действия, то это просто развод или полнейшая безграмотность с большим желанием сорвать денег на халяву .

«программист» ваш хорошо рубит деньжата с незнающих) Если эта надпись не раздражает и не мешает, то пускай себе будет, просто обновлений системы не будет и техподдержки, но кому оно надо? Я не обновляю систему, зачем оно мне надо? А вообще есть миллион активаторов, 3 щелчка — и все активировано, и никаких надписей и т.д. А два виндовса зачем, лишнее. если хотите, снесите и поставьте один, активатор — и все. а вообще ничем это не грозит.

Собственно, ничем особым это действительно НЕ грозит кроме как чёрного экрана и абсолютно никак не влияет на работоспособность состемы в целом.

Ничего из вышеописанных советом мне не помогло. Убрать этот «чёрный квадрат» просто не получилось. Но, ко всему привыкаешь) К тому же, заставку на экране мы видим не больше 2-5 минут за день, остальное всё время открыты другие окна и по ходу работы все есть на панели.

В интернете куча активаторов, которыми можно активировать Виндовс 7 и пользуйтесь на здоровье полной, зарегистрированной версией. Обновляться, кстати, можно без проблем- проверку на подлинность проходят они нормально. И не будет больше проблем.

Знаете ответ?

Windows displays the ‘This copy of Windows is not genuine’ message if your Windows is not activated properly. Activation of Windows is necessary so that Microsoft can ensure you have obtained Windows legally.

This error message usually indicates that Windows was not obtained through official means, and it turns your wallpaper black along with an annoying message that appears in the lower-left corner of the screen. The error message varies depending on the build version of your Windows. For example, if Windows 7 Build 7600 is not activated properly, the error message will look like this:

Windows 7
Build 7600
This copy of Windows is not genuine

Picture of the error message 'This copy of Windows is not genuine'

History of this Error

This is quite similar to the message, “You may have been a victim of software counterfeiting,” that would appear on computers running Windows XP if their copies of the OS were detected as pirated. Although this technology is designed to display the “This copy of Windows is not genuine” message only to users with pirated copies of Windows 7, it sometimes slips up and displays the message to Windows 7 users who own completely legitimate copies.

This is especially the case for Windows 7 users who own completely legitimate OEM versions of Windows 7 – the versions that came pre-installed on their PCs or laptops from their manufacturers, and it displays an activation error.

How can I fix this ‘Windows is not Genuine’ error?

Fortunately for you, though, the “This copy of Windows is not genuine” message can certainly be removed along with the black background that came with it. If you’re affected by this problem, regardless of whether you’re using a legitimate version of Windows 7 and are interested in knowing how to resolve this issue, here’s how you can do so:

Step 1: Uninstall update KB971033 (if applicable).

First and foremost, you must uninstall update KB971033 from your computer. However, keep in mind that this is only part of the solution for removing the “This copy of Windows is not genuine” message and will not be able to fix the issue by itself. To uninstall update KB971033, you need to:

  1. Open the Start Menu.
  2. Search for “windows update”.
  3. Click on the search result titled “Windows Update” under the Programs
  4. Click on View installed updates in the left pane.
  5. Once all of your installed updates have been loaded and you can see them in the right pane, search for update KB971033. When you find it, right-click on it and click on ‘Uninstall‘ in the contextual menu
  6. Go through the uninstallation process and then restart your computer. Move on to Phase 2 once your computer boots up.

Step 2: Reset the licensing status of your computer.

Once you have uninstalled update KB971033, you need to reset the licensing status of your computer to ensure you no longer encounter the “This copy of Windows is not genuine” message on your desktop. To accomplish this, you must:

  1. Open the Start Menu.
  2. S:Search for “cmd.
  3. Right-click on the search result named “cmd” and click on “Run as administrator.” This will launch an elevated Command Prompt with administrative privileges.
    Running Command Prompt as an administrator
  4. Type the following command line into the elevated Command Prompt and press Enter:
    slmgr -rearm
  5. You will see a confirmation window. Click on OK.
  6. Restart your computer; once it boots up, you will notice that the “This copy of Windows is not genuine” message is no longer present. Your desktop will still display a blank, black background, but you can resolve this by right-clicking on an empty space on your desktop, selecting “Personalize,” and changing your desktop background.

Note: The SLMGR -REARM command line is designed to work on 32-bit versions of the Windows 7 OS, and it works on almost all 32-bit versions of Windows 7 and a few 64-bit versions of Windows 7. However, if you use this command line and see that the “This copy of Windows is not genuine” message still appears when you restart your computer, you may have better luck repeating the steps listed and described above, but this time, use the following command line instead of SLMGR -REARM.

slmgr /rearm

If you run the “slmgr -rearm” or “slmgr /rearm” command-line and receive an error message stating, “This maximum allowed number of rearms has been exceeded,” you need to go through the following steps in order to fix the issue and proceed with Phase 2:

  1. Press the Windows Logo key + R to open a Run dialogue box.
  2. Type regedit.exe into the Run dialog and press Enter.

    Open Regedit
  3. In the left pane, navigate to the following directory:
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE > Software > Microsoft > WindowsNT > Current version
  4. In the left pane, click on the SoftwareProtectionPlatform folder to display its contents in the right pane.
  5. In the right pane, locate and right-click on a registry value named SkipRearm, then click on Modify in the context menu.
  6. In the Modify dialog box, change the Value data for the key from 0 to 1, and click on OK.
  7. Exit the Registry Editor and restart your computer. When your computer boots up, give Phase 2 another try, and you should be successful this time.

If you run the SLMGR –REARM or SLMGR /REARM command-line and receive an error message stating that “SLGMR is not recognized as an internal or external command,” the cause can be one of three things – you are typing the command-line incorrectly, you are not typing the command-line into an elevated Command Prompt that you are running as an administrator, or there is a problem with your computer’s slmgr.vbs file. If there is a problem with your computer’s slmgr.vbs file that is causing the command-line not to be executed correctly, here’s what you need to do:

  1. Open My Computer.
  2. Double-click on the partition of your hard disk drive where Windows 7 is installed.
  3. Double-click on the folder named ‘Windows
  4. Locate and double-click on a folder named “System32.
  5. Locate a file named slmgr, regardless of its extension, and right-click on it. Then, click on Rename in the contextual menu.
  6. S:Rename the file to .vbs.
  7. Restart your computer and give Phase 2 another try when it boots up. This time, you should be successful in running the SLMGR –REARM or SLMGR /REARM command line

Pro Tip: To ensure that the “This copy of Windows is not genuine” message does not reappear, make certain to turn off automatic Windows updates. In order to disable automatic Windows updates, you need to:

  1. Open the Start Menu.
  2. Search for “Windows Update.
  3. Click on the search result titled “Windows Update” under the Programs
  4. Click on ‘Change Settings‘ in the left pane
  5. Under ‘Important updates‘, open the dropdown menu and click on ‘Never check for updates’ (not recommended) from the list of options.
  6. Restart your computer.

Also, try to perform a startup repair if all else fails.

Step 3: Reconfiguring the Plug and Play Service.

In some cases, your computer’s policy may not be configured properly, which could prevent certain services from starting on your computer. Therefore, in this step, we will make some changes to the system’s policies and ensure that the Plug and Play Security service is set to start up automatically. To do this:

  1. Press the “Windows” key and “R” key simultaneously on your keyboard to launch the Run prompt.
  2. Type in ‘Rsop.msc‘ and press ‘Enter

    Typing in rsop.msc in the prompt
  3. Setup should start after you perform the above step. Let the setup complete, and the Resultant Set of Policy window will open up.
  4. Double-click on the “Computer Configuration” option to expand it, and then double-click on the “Windows Settings” option.
  5. After that, double-click on the “Security Settings” and then double-click on the “System Services” option.
  6. In the right pane, there should be a comprehensive list of services that are supposed to be running in the background.”
  7. Find the “Plug and Play” service from the list, and double-click on it to open its properties

    Double-clicking on the Plug and Play Service
  8. In the “Select Service Startup Mode” option, choose the “Automatic” setting, and ensure that you save your changes.
  9. Now exit out of the window after making sure that your changes have been saved.
  10. ress “Windows” + “R” to launch the Run prompt again, and type in the following command:
    gpupdate/force
  11. Press “Enter” to execute this command and wait for its execution to be completed.
  12. Restart your computer and check to see if the issue still persists.

  • 16.07.2009 я купил ноутбук Asus F50Q C ОЕМ vista home basic 32.Недавно купил у серт. партнёра коробку windows 7.Диск 32 установился и работает отлично.А 64 не устанавливается.Причём,проводник открывает,что вся информация на диске есть,а при попытке установить

    я нашёл на сайте Асус ,что как раз F50Q поддерживает Windows7.Я написалписьмо в центр тех.поддерки Асус,мне ответили,что в ноутбуке ничего менять не надо( т.к. я спросил:может аппаратуру какую-то заменить надо)…что проблема бывает обычно в самой системе,или

Ответы

  • Судя по описанию установка делается неверно. Надо делать так:

    1. Сохранить все нужные данные на любом внешнем носителе (DVD, внешний диск, флэш и т.п).

    2. Загрузить компьютер с установочного DVD диска Семерки (см. инструкцию к лаптопу как задать поряднок загрузки если по умолчанию она не с DVD).

    3. Установить ОС следуя предложеным шагам. Рекомендуется удалить раздел с существующей ОС и создать новый, в него и устанавливать.

    4. Установить апдейты и свежие драйверы.

    5. Восстановить данные сохраненные  в п.1.

  • Я сейчас сделал так:вставил диск,выключил компьютер,включил,в БИОСе в boot-Boot Device Priority,выбрал первый пункт и поставил CD-DVD,save and exit

    забудьте, что у Вас есть жесткий диск.

    В БИОСе поставьте DVD-привод первым в загрузке.

    Дистрибутив должен быть уже в приводе.

    При включении компьютера, после начальных сообщений (НИКАКИХ МЕНЮ ЗАГРУЗКИ! нужен момент раньше), должно появиться — на секунд 5 — сообщение типа Press any key to boot from CD-DVD disc (Нажмите любую клавишу для загрузки с диска) — успейте нажать!
    тогда загрузка начнется не с винчестера, а с дистрибутива (это
    обязательное
    условие для установки 64-битной системы в Вашем случае!)

    Появится окно программы установки Windows — дальше уже всё известно.

    Удачи!

How to Fix ‘Windows Is Not Genuine’

You can try several things to fix the “Windows is not genuine” message, but which one is best to try depends on your situation and what you see, so read through the various tactics below before getting started.

Enter a Valid Product Key

If this is your first time using your computer since you installed Windows, but you haven’t yet entered the product key, the best way to stop this error is to enter your product key to activate Windows.

You can change your Windows product key through Settings in Windows 11, or Control Panel in Windows 10, 8, 7, and Vista. Changing the Windows XP product key is done through the registry.

Another way to enter a different product key in Windows is through the Run dialog box. Open it with WIN+R and then enter the following:

slui.exe 3

You’ll get a prompt where you can type the product key.

Reset the License Information

This fix for “Windows is not genuine” errors resets the information used to activate Windows. If the information is valid but somehow corrupted, this should remove the error.

  1. Open an elevated Command Prompt.

  2. Type the following, followed by Enter:

    SLMGR -REARM
    

    If you see an error message, try this instead:

    SLMGR /REARM
    
  3. Wait for the command to finish running.

  4. Select OK on the “Command completed successfully.” pop-up message.

  5. Restart your computer.

  6. Follow any activation instructions if you see them after Windows starts back up.

Disable the Plug and Play Policy

This method only applies to some versions of Windows.

You might be able to fix the “not genuine” error by disabling the Plug and Play Group Policy object. This might be the case if the Network Service account doesn’t have the proper permissions to access the HKU\S-1-5-20 registry key.

  1. Open the Run dialog box with the WIN+R keyboard shortcut.

  2. Type the following, followed by Enter:

    rsop.msc
    
  3. Go to Computer Configuration > Windows Settings > Security Settings > System Services.

  4. Locate Plug and Play from the list.

    If Plug and Play is set to anything other than Not Defined (look in the “Startup” column), then continue with the next step.

    If you see Not Defined in that column (like the image below), then these steps will not work to fix the “Windows is not genuine” error.

  5. Locate the Group Policy listed next to Plug and Play.

  6. Change the Group Policy setting to Not Defined.

  7. Open the Run dialog box again via the WIN+R keyboard shortcut and then enter the following, followed by Enter:

    gpupdate /force
    
  8. Restart your computer.

  9. You might need to complete some activation instructions after Windows loads.

Apply the Proper Registry Permissions

If the above steps didn’t work to fix the error about Windows not being genuine, or you couldn’t complete them because of what you found during Step 4, you can try adjusting the permissions Network Service has to access a specific registry key.

  1. Open Registry Editor.

  2. Locate HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-20.

  3. Right-click S-1-5-20 and select Permissions.

  4. Choose Add under “Group or user names” if NETWORK SERVICE isn’t already listed.

    If you do see it, skip down to Step 7.

  5. Type network service in the text box and select Check Names.

  6. Select OK.

  7. Select NETWORK SERVICE.

  8. Put a check in the box next to both Full Control and Read, under the “Allow” column.

  9. Select OK.

  10. Restart your computer.

  11. Complete any activation prompts that pop up after Windows loads.

Delete the KB971033 Update

This method applies to Windows 7 only.

If Windows 7 won’t activate properly, there might be an issue with an update installed via Windows Update, specifically, one for Windows Activation Technologies (KB971033).

If you know that your product key is genuine, removing and reinstalling this update could solve this problem.

  1. Go to Start > Control Panel.

  2. Open Programs and Features.

    If you don’t see that option, go to Programs first and then Programs and Features.

  3. Select View installed updates on the left.

  4. Search for KB971033 from the list of installed updates.

  5. Right-click the update and select Uninstall.

  6. Select Yes on the confirmation prompt, and then wait for Windows to uninstall the update.

  7. Restart your computer.

It’d be a good idea to now check for updates again with Windows Update and then install any available ones, like a fresh version of this KB971033 update. It might not make sense to reinstall the same update that caused the error in the first place, but the update could have been installed incorrectly; trying again will allow the update another chance at installing properly.

Check Your Computer for Malware

A virus is an unlikely reason for a “Windows is not genuine” message, but you can’t rule it out without checking.

You can use plenty of programs to check for various types of malware, including on-demand scanners, spyware cleaners, and full antivirus software programs.

Another option is a bootable antivirus tool. These are useful if you can’t even boot into Windows to run a scan because they work before Windows starts. You’ll need a flash drive or disc to use a bootable malware cleaner.

Reinstall Windows

Of course, deleting Windows from your computer and reinstalling it is the most drastic solution to a «Windows is not genuine» error. However, if you’ve tried all of the above and Windows still won’t properly activate, you’re left with starting from scratch.

Before installing Windows over your current version, make sure to have a copy of your Windows product key to avoid having to buy a brand new copy.
