Tech Support Windows 7 Suddenly not legit.
So, ever since i bought this computer (December 010) i've been using Windows 7 Ultimate. It came with the machine, it works great for me.

Now, just yesterday after a routine update, Windows suddenly starting claiming that it is not a legit product. I have the "Windows 7 ver 7600 not legitimate" mark on my desktop, it nags me constantly during use and during booting it up.

As far as i'm aware, this is a OEM version of windows that came with the machine, i don't have a disk for it, but it's legit! I try to follow the "activate now!" option, but all it does is allow me to BUY a new copy of Windows 7... what the hell!?

Anybody went through this? I really don't want to re-install windows (and everything else, i would think) just because of this, and i have half a mind to get me one of those "Nukers" that state they can wipe these warnings away, because it's just so damn annoying, specially since i actually have the damn real thing with me for over 8 months!

So, any ideas on how to deal with this one?

Did you buy the computer from a retailer? If so there should be a sticker on the back or monitor or something with your windows 7 license key, see if there are any prompts to enter that?

E: Derp, Nikose-ninja'd.

But yeah, that's basically the only option because it's unlikely your computer's manufacturer will help you beyond sending you to Microsoft, and Microsoft will (and I speak from experience) tell you to fuck right off and buy a new copy.

i bought the parts and went to a Store i knew was ok and payed them to assemble the pc for me, they delivered it with Windows 7 Ultimate on the HDD.

So, i guess, i'm either screwed or shit out of luck. Nice...

Contact the store, or pirate it, or you're probably SOL and have to get a new one.
