Windows 7 Evaluation copy. Build 7100 This copy of Windows is not genuine. It is asking me prodcut key what should i do. This is the RC, not the Final version of Windows 7. So buy the final: http://store.microsoft.com/microsoft/Windows-Windows-7/category/102"A programmer is just a tool which converts caffeine into code" CLIP- Stellvertreter http://www.winvistaside.de/

Hi dawnichu, if your system displays exactly the same "Evaluation copy" - then your system is not loaded with a genuine copy of Windows. if your system is recently purchased, refer to the seller. if your message is slightly different (e.g. does not mention "Evaluation copy"), please open a new question and describe your situation. a better forum for Windows validation/genuine questions is here: http://social.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/genuinewindows7/threads Thanks!Don
