Windows 7 RC1 installs as "Not Genuine"

I have successfully installed Windows 7 RC1 on my MacBook Pro. When I start Windows, I get a dialogue box advising me to "Activate Windows Now". However, it won't allow me to Activate - says that my pre-release version of Windows has expired. Windows also shows a static message in the lower right of the desktop which says:
Build 7100
This copy of Windows is not genuine.
I am using a legal, ligitimate copy of Windows 7 RC1, downloaded from the MicroSoft Windows 7 RC1 website. Windows Update works fine and the Windows OS appears to be working apart from some weirdness with the trackpad and a few other (so far) minor issues.
Is this normal for a Windows 7 installation? If not, what is causing it?

I've been seeing that lately. But when I click on ACTIVATE it takes just fine.
One time I installed on one mobo and moved the drive and had to re-activate. Another time, used the 64-bit key but it was 32-bit version - but activation still took.
Because the download period was extended, my guess is there is a misconfiguration on the part of Microsoft activation servers and coding errors.

Windows 7 Product Key Blocked - Not Genuine notice

My T420 is 3 years old and suddenly yesterday I got the notices and black screen saying "This copy of Windows is not genuine." And nag screens about it roughly every half hour (and annoyingly at boot-up).
I tried several fixes online, including re-entering the Product Key. When I do that I get error code 0XC004F063. There's no place to contact Microsoft for a replacement key, it says to contact Lenovo.
I talked to Lenovo support this morning and was told I may need to reinstall Windows and they were mailing me Restore discs. He checked and said with that error code I needed to call Microsoft.
I called MS and they checked the Product Key...it's blocked. I gave him my Product ID and that's blocked too. He said get back to Lenovo.
Lenovo knows nothing about this. Or what to do about it. The woman told me she had someone call this morning with something similar, though it was with Windows 8. She checked and several other support people had had similar calls this morning. She also said I'd probably have to reinstall Windows. I asked if she'd ever had this before and she said no. I asked if she knew of others having these calls before and she said not that she knew of. I asked if it seemed suspicious that suddenly a few people were having this problem. Sounds like Lenovo blocked a series of Product Keys. She hedged about whether it was truly escalated and said the Floor Manager was aware of it and they'd look into it. When I asked if they'd contact me if they found out anything, she said it doesn't work that way. They're mailing me the Restore discs and I'm to call back Friday to see if anyone knows anything.
In the meantime, here's my MS Genuine log. It looks okay to my untrained eye....anyone have any insights or know of other instances of this, especially in the past 24 hours?

Mark this as SOLVED. I got it sorted out. No one (including me) realized that the Product Key Belarc gives is a generic Lenovo one and that the lack of a sticker is because it's under the battery. I didn't realize this...and neither did Two Lenovo support people!

Satellite L300-254 - Windows 7 Home Premium is not Genuine

I HAVE A LAPTOP SATELLITE L300-254,I INSTALL WINDOWS 7 HOME PREMIUM USING TOSHIBA PRODUCT RECOVERY DISK.
WHEN I START WINDOWS SHOW ERROR MESSAGE ... GET GENUINE NOW..ASK ME LATER... WHEN I CONNECT INTERNET SHOW ERROR WINDOWS IS NOT GENUINE.
I CLICK RESOLVE NOW.. MICROSOFT SITE IS VALIDATE BUT SHOWS NOT GENUINE PLEASE BUY A NEW PRODUCT KEY...PLEASE HELP ME HOW TO GET GENUINE MY WINDOWS

Hello
> I INSTALL WINDOWS 7 HOME PREMIUM USING TOSHIBA PRODUCT RECOVERY DISK
I doubt you have installed Windows 7 from Toshiba recovery disk
As far as I know Satellite L300 was only delivered with Vista or XP. Satellite L300 wasnt on the market anymore at Windows 7 was released.
I think you have to buy an official Windows 7 disk with product key. Such Windows 7 installation is genuine and you will not have any problems.

Windows 7 preinstalled marked as not genuine

I had some problems with my laptop so decided to format the harddrive and start again. During this process my laptop crashed and got stuck. I had to use a windows recovery disk to get it back up again. For some reason it said that the product kep, on the underneath of the laptop was invalid. I thought this was a mistake but it kept saying it. It non says my OS is not genuine, I assure you it is, and I have lost my desktop background; possibly more functions that I have not yet come across. Is there any way I can solve this?

Boot Camp Windows 8.1 Installation Did Not Install Network Card

I just installed a Windows 8.1 Boot Camp partition on a new Mid 2013 MBA. The install ran the support software and installed the drivers. However I don't show any network cards in my Windows 8.1 installation. I reran the support sw manually and it went through and supposedly fixed any driver errors but I still don't see a network card or have a network connection. It works just fine in my OSX partition, so it is definately a driver issue. *** do I need to do to get the network driver installed?

In Thehatters defence, this was initially posted in the MacbookPro forum and then moved to Boot Camp,
If you have any joy solving your trackpad device driver issue, feel free to post here (there might be a similar fix for my wireless adapter device)
Thanks

Windows XP re-installation does not recognize any hard drive - help

Hi,
I have X60s Model: 17044JU
I have original XP installed.
My computer is very slow and I am trying to reinstall XP from my CD (and format HD so I clean everything).
When Windows installations blue screen shows up and loads drivers etc then it tells me that it does not recognize any hard drive.
I thought I may need SCSI or RAID drivers but since I don't have floppy I can not load them.
Any help how to install new XP would be appreciated.
Thank you

Hi
I changed BIOS setup from AHCI to Compatibility and indeed it worked.
However there is easier way to reload new system on thinkpad.
I didn't know that but you can press ThinkVantage button when you start your laptop and IBM utilities start up.
Then there is an option to reload the system to be in original state as shipped from the factory. It loads or drivers and initial programs. It also formats your hard drive.
I found it pretty convenient.
Thanks for help.

PLEASE anyone help? I am not a techie person and i dont know how to fix this problem. Thank you and regards.

Now, this is pretty complicated for me to understand but one thing is just clear, this is counterfeit. I have asked help from other Windows7 forums and all they tell me is to report this to Microsoft.
MANY people have counterfeit installs - very few of them actually know it! And im one of them.
A large proprtion of counterfeiting is done b vendors who can make a quick buck by buying/building OS-free machines, and installing 'Ultimate' to unsuspecting purchasers.
Another thing is that I cannot see any COA sticker anywhere my unit.
I used a keyfinder softwareto find my product key but it's not valid for activation since the key used in here is a Default Key. is is getting worst.
I am not very good with this technology stuff and im getting really frustrated.
Is it possible that if i upgrade my system to Windows 8, and use a legal purchase, will i be able to get rid of this "Windows 7 Build 7601 this copy of Windows is not genuine." thing???????
Please help. Thank you.

"This copy of windows is not genuine.Build 7601". G71-333CA Notebook PC

Hi,
Few days ago I got the blue screen and after reboot I got the message ""This copy of windows is not genuine.Build 7601". Error code 0x8007007E.
I tried to restore the system to a previous state but it didn't work.
Now, after rebooting I log in and all I get is a black screen with a small text in the right low corner as mentioned. No other command works.
How can I recover the system without reinstalling windows?
Product number: VM115UA#ABC, G71-333CA, Windows 7
Thank you,
Dan

What is the difference between a purchased recovery disk and the ones that I created?
I don't understand why HP installs a different key than the label one. Why bother to place a label with a product key that is not real? I would have knew about all this twist I would have bought a proper Windows licence (at least I would have had the installation kit) and laptop without all the HP useless applications (which proves that if you are in trouble they cannot help at all).
Thank again,
Dan
1. Recovery discs from HP perform the same recovery but take longer to do the recovery than the one's you make yourself.
"HP shipped media covers multiple series and many different configurations. (One set of discs may cover a series that has 10 or even many more unique configurations)
Because of this the process first lays down a 'base' image, and then customizes the image for that specific configuration.
The F11 and customer created media recoveries are specific to that model PC, and are quick because it is laying down an image that is designed only for one configuration.
The last phase of the HP shipped recovery is installing and customizing the software for that specific model. This last phase can take a very long time, can have popup windows (that should not be clicked), and can involve multiple reboots. Specifically around 12%-19% on the display is where this occurs.
Please don't interact with the PC during this time.
Don't click on any popups unless the system completely stops for significant time.Unless there is a unknown error, the recovery process is actually designed to handle this.
For notebooks, this process can take 4-6 hours on certain configurations."
2. All OEM PC manufacturers use what is called a Volume License Key (VLK), it makes it much easier to install and activate 10's of millions of Windows installations. By Law they have to give your a Single User License key because you paid for the OS when you purchased the PC, so they put that key on the sticker, this is an Industry wide standard.

"Build 6002: This copy of Windows is not genuine"

Hi everyone..
I have had my TOSHIBA Satellite L40-139 for over a year. It was bought from PC World and came with a pre-installed version of Windows Vista Home Premium. I do not have any of the disks that came with the laptop but the Windows installed is genuine.
I went to install Vista Service Pack 2 having downloaded it. I restarted my laptop only to find my desktop wallpaper had gone and been replaced with a black background and the following in the bottom-right corner of the desktop:
Windows Vista (TM)
Build 6002
This copy of Windows is not genuine
This was followed by a pop-up window with two options, 'Activate Now' or 'Activate Later', followed by an error pop-up that says Windows must be re-installed as an "Unauthorised change has been made...please insert CD or DVD". If I press 'Activate Now' it just goes to another pop-up that says I can contact TOSHIBA. If I click the link it just goes to a standard 'Help' screen!
I don't know what to do..I have the COA product key sticker intact and have tried entering it but it just comes back with various errors. It's as if as soon as I installed service pack 2 I've had problems. Again I do not have Vista or a toshiba recovery disk (I don't even know if it came with one). I have tried restoring Windows but it just returns with the same screens!
HELP!!
PS. Is the Toshiba support line a free number? Does anyone know a number that is free to call from mobiles? (I do not have a landline).

> As per my first post I do not have a Recovery DVD as mine didn't come with one..I take it I must be doing something wrong and there is another way to sort this? Even the Toshiba product spec states that no recovery DVD comes with it.
As per my first posting I wrote clearly that new notebooks dont come with recovery discs but with HDD recovery only and you must create recovery disc alone. Everything is described in Users manuals document. If you dont read it and dont pick up info about your notebook I cannot help you about it.
If you cannot start HDD recovery installation as described in Toshiba document then something must be screwed up. Why? I dont know.
You can try method posted by Paolo but if this will not help you must install OS again or activate preinstalled version. If you dont have possibility to install original recovery image you can order new disc under https://backupmedia.toshiba.eu/landing.aspx or try to clarify situation with nearest Toshiba service. Call them, explain the situation and maybe you will get one for free.
Sorry but I dont know what else to say.

Dear chong2010,
what you are experiencing is not unheard of, part of the counterfeit protection on the MS OS involves taking note of certain aspects of the Hardware, including the hard drive, so changing the drive is VERY likely to trigger this reaction on part of
the OS.
All you need to do is to perform the validation process again, as you did when you initially installed the box (or initially used the box, if pre installed by manufacturer), using the same original windows key (you should have it in a label attached to the
box of the computer of in the supporting documentation of the purchase).
You can do this from "control panel" -> 'system security" -> "system" or by typing "
cscript slmgr.vbs /ato
in the command line (admin privs required in this command line)
Best Regards / Saludos, Marianok

Pop-up in new Satellite L855 - Windows is not genuine

Sorry for my English.
on February 8, 2013 I bought my Toshiba L855 laptop with Windows 7 Home Premium preinstalled.
For about 10 days I get a pop-up that says Windows is not genuine.
Windows is activated.
I checked the license key with the software *"Produkey"* and is different from the license key that comes in Microsoft sticker.
How is it possible?

There are fuller explanations out there but this gives an overview:
If Windows is pre-installed on a computer by an original equipment manufacturer (OEM), the operating system is automatically activated without the need for interaction from the user.
(10) In this case, the copy of Windows installed does not use the product key listed on the certificate of authenticity, but rather a master product key issued to OEMs called a System Locked Pre-installation (SLP) key.
On each boot, Windows confirms the presence of specific information stored in the BIOS by the manufacturer, ensuring the activation only remains valid on that computer, even if the product key is used on another machine.

Windows 7 RC1 installs as "Not Genuine"
