    Do I have a legitimate copy of windows?


    I need help verifying if the PC I purchased has a legit copy of windows, or if it was obtained illegally from the builder. I recently received a notification that my license will be expiring soon, although the company I bought my PC from assured me and advertised that it is a legit copy of Windows Pro 10. I upgraded my machine to Windows 11 for free when it was offered via the windows update page in settings.Do I have a real Windows key or was I scammed?

    :)

    Do I have a legitimate copy of windows?

    Are my Registry Files all legitimate programs?

    Isn't there a web tool whereby I can check if programs listed in my REGISTRY FILES are legitimate programs?
