windows 7 not genuineAre you ready to be familiar with the different ways by which one can understand that Windows 7 installed on your system is genuine or not?
The authentication of Windows 7 operating system is released by Microsoft which suggests that the software is rightly licensed and also backed-up by their support. If Windows 7 is not genuine, it will not avail support and updates by the manufacturer and at the same time the application will not be able to deliver proper security for the system. Genuine Windows 7 operating system will be more sophisticated and safe to be used on the system than the forged one. Another advantage of using the genuine Windows 7 operating system is that the user will be able to download all the latest updates.

The different ways to find out whether Windows 7 is genuine or not are as follows:
Activate Windows dialog box

Online verification
Offline verification

Activate Windows dialog box
The user can see whether Windows 7 is genuine or not by activating Windows dialog. To do this, one needs to go to ‘Start’ and open the ‘Search’ box. Type ‘Inactive Windows’ in the box and see whether the version is genuine or not. If the operating system is a genuine one, a message will be displayed stating “Activation was successful” with a logo of Microsoft on the right side of the screen.

Online verification
The user can also verify that Windows 7 is genuine or not by going to the official website of Microsoft and using the validation mechanism that determines the genuineness of an operating system. One may have noticed while downloading updates for Windows that the system asks for a verification to continue the download process. The user should always connect to the web using Internet Explorer and download updates only from the official website.

Offline verification
Another way of checking whether Windows 7 is genuine or not is by going to the ‘Control Panel’ of the system where one can find an option of system and security.
