Windows 10: Is my windows 10 Genuine and Legal

Hi there,


I purchased a laptop in December 2016 which was pre-installed Windows 7 OEM but one good friend of mine clean or fresh installed Windows 10 not upgrade and I don't remember exactly but he did not purchase any license key.

So I am worried that he may have installed a cracked or pirated version.

Now when I check in settings-> Updates & Security-> Activation -> Its shows windows edition: Windows 10 Pro and it is activated with a digital license linked to my Microsoft account.

I am wondering how is it legally activated or still a pirated version?

Thanks for the help.

:)

 

Windows 7 not genuine problem

It seems like that's an OEM windows copy, it will do that the every time you reinstall the OS. If you have the key, next time you see the "not genuine windows copy" click it and choose to activate by phone, everything else is pretty straight forward as it explains step-by-step. If it doesn't work, then its highly likely that you got a Pirate copy.

 

Windows 10 Tweaks

Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

• Open a new Explorer window.
• Click View in the ribbon.
• Click Options.
• Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
• Click OK
