Hi
my copy is a genuine one, it came installed with the lap top, i've rang microsoft, they want the product key number from underneath the lap top, the problem is the number has rubbed off the sticker, i've looked for paper work and can't find any for the lap top.
It was bought in 2009
microsoft need me to send a photo of the blue/greenish sticker underneath, and they then will decided if they will send me a activation code or something....................
@m5rcc............are u saying my copy is not genuine...................?0 -

I'm saying that even if you bought a laptop legitimately, it has come to light that some shops (comet, Currys) have provided copies of Windows that weren't genuine.
