Legal copies?
 

My computer went to the shop a few months ago for him to update it to Windows 7. Everything has been fine until tonight when it´s decided that my Windows isn´t legal.

I have this number but I´m not sure where to put it!

A little help would be very welcome x

probably installed a dodgy copy and obviously didnt hear about the update that came out a few months ago in america then was launched not long ago in teh UK that detects pirated copies

you can sort this but then you will have to leave automatic update switched off and be carefull what updates you install afterwards

which shop was it ?

i dont ahve a problem with peopel using pirated copies but you shoudl at leats have been informed it was pirate so you coudl make an informed choice

Did the shop charge you for puttingWin7 on?
If so how much?

IMO if they did then you should be able to take it back and get them to sort it out.

Otherwise they would have to admit to using a illegal copy & that could get them into big trouble if you grass them up to trading standards.

would bet there aint no Trading Standards in Tenerife mattylad.:)

A "This copy of Windows is not genuine" warning does not always mean you have a pirate copy installed...it may just be the wrong type.. if you have a multilingual pack installed it is not supported on the following editions of wndows 7
Starter
Home Basic
Home Premium
Professional
you might be able to fix it form microsoft support from this link:
