how to check if your windows is genuine or not

By


Piracy war should be fought with digital tools. I request all of my visitors to use genuine softwares. If you dont have money to buy genuine softwares, use open source softwares.

Okay..now How do you know whether you have a genuine copy of windows or not?

To know whether you have genuine winows copy run this command in run dialog "oobe/msoobe /a" without quotes. If you get a dialog box saying that "Thanks for using our product" then you have a genuine copy of windows.

If the dialog ask you to activate the product then you own a pirated copy of windows.

Hey! Download windows media player 11 or internet explorer 8 from microsoft's website and try to install it. If installation completed successfully then you have a Genuine copy of windows else you must be uing pirated one.

xxx 3 years ago

if it say window is already activated its mean your window is full but does not mean that it is genuine. I have downloaded microsoft updates and then i got a notice that your window doesnot pass window genuine validation, and i check my window by above method it say window is activated.

But i found how to remove window genuine advantage validation notificaton.download it run

"Windows is already activated" doesn't necessarily mean your windows software is a genuine one. In order to verifty whether your windows is genuine or not you should download the winodws geniune application from update site. One more thing, you can disable the prompt if your window doesnt pass the genuine test but your pc is still non-genuine and vulnerable to risks. Please use genuine software instead of pirated one.

Hello im a computer repair tech in the US i have been running in to computers that are preloaded meaning {dell gateway} and so on that after some time come up as not genuine but they are Microsoft has had problems with there CD keys getting hacked and so many ppl are getting this error also the WPA files in some cases have been corrupted by malware an easy fix is to tell it to act activat over the phone or a repair install from the CD

UTSAV AWASTHI 2 years ago

yeah manas nagpure is right.even if u wil try the above aforementioned procedure,it is possible to get the said dialog box,but ur window won't be genuine.The best possible way is to download a file from www.microsoft.com/genuine/validiate ,And thet's it.It is the sure shot test of genuinity.

when i type this in windows vista 64bit it runs windows setup to create an account. it freaked me out, I thought i messed up my user account. Although what freaks me out more is i could not cancel this and had to create a user and I went to delete it in the users option in the control panel and their was no new account so IDK what i did to my system. I would place a warning on this page that says this is not for windows Seven (64 bit version in my case) although IDK what will happen in a 32 bit version.

I think the warning would be nice as i wish it was their before i did what you said.

Thank you

If you want to check that is your windows (any version) is genuine or not just enable the auto update function of your operating system. After some time or days (its depends on your internet connection speed)if a massage pop up on your desktop says "This windows is not genuine and you may be victim to software counterfeiting". That means your windows is not genuine. you will get this massage on your desktop left bottom corner near your system tray.

When you say;

Lets fight against piracy and suport open source softwares

There is no such thing as softwares as the word software is plural, not singular and you also have spelling mistakes.

So the correct phrase would be;

Lets fight against piracy and support open source software.

I was running a pirate version of Windows 7 . It started coming up warnings that wasn't genuine.

So i done the right thing and have bought a version of Windows 7 legitimately.

For some reason tho my PC keeps reverting back to the pirate version. What i do?

dude.i run the code but it only appeared blue screen,and at the top of the windows saying activate windows.so its genuine or not?

taylorswept003 12 months ago

THIS IS THE NAKED TRUTH OF ALL MESSAGES HERE!!!

any windows genuine (whatever version) is "one is to one" meaning only one CD can be installed in one computer.

If the CD you installed was used by many computers, then it is pirated!

There is nowhere to get it free! or else you'll just waste your time, current, other bills, etc. You might find viruses too!

better buy!
