    Non-genuine to genuine Windows 10 still says non-genuine copy


    I bought a non-genuine copy of Windows 10 but then had problems with it so I bought a genuine version but I can't change the product key from the non-genuine to the newly bought genuine copy. I tried uninstalling the non-genuine product key by "slmgr -upk" in command prompt to change the product key but it still won't let me. I don't know what to do. Please help!

    :)

    Go genuine from non genuine version.

    Hello, I am wondering if it is possible to go genuine after already upgrading to a non genuine version of Win10? Like if I have a non genuine windows 8 and then upgrade, windows 10 will then also be non genuine but can I then buy a licence and go genuine?

    Genuine windows vs non genuine windows

    You came here asking about genuine and non-genuine because you thought yours WAS non-genuine.

    It was nothing to do with me.

    Your original question

    :

    What is the difference/s between genuine and non genuine windows?

    CAn u post a screenshot? I can view my system info in settings but where do we confirm the genuinity?

    I am using windows 8.1 .

    Is it a crime to use non genuine windows? what is the price in Pakistan for buying genuine windows 8.1 and 10?

    Can a non genuine window be updated?

    Plus does it affect the visuality/graphics, if u r using non genuine/pirated windows? and in what ways...i mean it appears my homescreen is very dull and not bright and i dont feel happy looking at it...

    I told you what to check.
