How to fix Windows 7 not Genuine Error

31 Comments

If the Windows 7 installed in your computer is not genuine, then after a few days, a error message pops up in the down right hand corner of the screen telling you that the date has expired and the copy of the Windows is not genuine. Even if you close the message, the message keeps popping up after every few minutes. And this will continue until you fix the problem,or install a genuine version of Windows 7.

This happens because the Windows genuine checker constantly checks whether or not the version installed is a genuine version. This is quite irritable, and in Windows 8 it restricts some of the functions as well. If the computer detects that the version of the Windows 8 installed is not genuine, then it does not allow to set the lock screen picture, and the account picture. Instead it prompts to activate the version of Windows with a key.

fix / resolve windows 7 not genuine error

One of the things that can be done to prevent this from ever happening is to install a genuine version of the Windows you are currently using. By doing this the windows genuine checker would not prompt the message as the version is always genuine. But this method would cost you as the genuine installation DVD or ISO of Windows 7 or 8 comes with a price tag. And not all of the users can afford to have a genuine installation DVD. So for them there are various other ways of getting rid of this problem.

I would suggest you to buy genuine copy of Windows only. But let say you are student and can’t afford that then you can still buy genuine version, as Microsoft have some student related offers too. Please checkout the official Microsoft Store and you will able to find all the currently working deals.

One of the best solutions is that to activate the version of Windows with a Windows Activator. There are various activators that are available on the internet. But the activators of Windows 7 and Windows 8 computer are different, so do not try to activate Windows 8 or 8.1 with a Windows 7 activator.

  • If you are using a windows activator, simply open the activator as it is an executable file.
  • Then click on the version of the Windows you are using, and then click on Activate.
  • After the process is over, then the computer need to restarted, and the windows that is installed on the computer would be categorized as a genuine version of windows.

But if this technique is too complicated for you, then there are a couple of other simplified techniques.

How to fix Windows 7 not Genuine build 7601 Error

Method A : Resolve Windows not genuine error by removing file

  • Go to the control panel, and open updates.
  • Find the update named “KB971033″ and uninstall it.

Method B : Fix Error using Command Prompt

  • Open the command prompt, and type “SLMGR – REARM”
  • After that just press enter. Then a pop up message will appear telling you that the command was successfully executed, and that the computer needs to be restarted.
  • After restarting the computer, the windows would become genuine, or at least be categorized as such.

It is important to note that, Both method are just workaround. Using Method B you will able to postpone error for 30 days and you can use that for Three times only. So total you can remove  “Windows 7 not Genuine Error” for 90 days only. After that you will need to renew your Windows. Same is the case for method A.

You may make and receive calls using free apps for Android and iOS devices, as well as your PC. The experience of calling your UK virtual phone number will be identical to dialing a regular local number in the region.

When you use your phone number to make a call, the recipient will see your phone number before answering the telephone.

 FOR United Kingdom, THERE ARE DIFFERENT KINDS OF NUMBERS

The security software on the PC may also prevent some websites to be opened. Generally troubleshooting fixes the problem, and it is quite easy to do so.

Before fixing the DNS error, one has to narrow down the cause of the problem.

  • First of all, one should check the internet connection.
  • Also check the security software, and see whether or not it is blocking the websites.

What Are Residential Proxies?

Leave a comment

Residential proxies are the vast network of IP addresses that an internet service provider (ISP) supplies. A residential proxy works by allowing you to use its IP address as a form of protecting yourself and letting you browse the internet anonymously.

  • There are several types of proxies available on the market as residential proxies. In fact there are different types of proxies based on the purpose they are supposed to serve. You can even find mobile proxies that assist with keeping your activities anonymous when on the mobile network. You may click here to learn more about mobile proxies.

Types of Residential Proxies

As mentioned earlier, residential proxies come in a variety of types according to the purpose they serve. Here are a few types:

Dedicated Residential Proxies

This type of proxy is considered one of the best in the category, as it assigns a dedicated IP address to a single user. This is the perfect option if you are looking for the highest level of privacy and anonymity. They also offer a reliable connection and high speed.

Shared Residential Proxies

As the name implies, this type of proxy allows multiple users to use one IP address. The main advantage of shared residential proxies is that they’re cheaper than most. These proxies also have a decent speed and robust network architecture, but they are considered unreliable and not secure.

Rotating Residential Proxies

Rotating proxies are different because they rotate an IP address, randomly changing them. These make them very difficult to detect. This is considered a safe proxy.

Mobile Residential Proxies

Mobile residential proxies, similar to dedicated residential proxies, provide high levels of security and privacy. They use mobile IP addresses.

How Residential Proxies Are Used

Here are the commonly used scenarios of residential proxies:

They can be used for market price monitoring, and work by  using multiple sales intelligence software. They can be used to collect and monitor pricing trends.

Residential proxies make social media management simple by allowing you to create multiple accounts. Using a residential proxy lets you easily switch these accounts around without worrying about your IP address. Social media marketing has become a massive trend in today’s internet marketing.

Hiding IP addresses is a form of encryption that cyber security companies use. This means residential proxies can be used for cyber security penetration testing.

Residential proxies let you verify and check any ads displayed on your page. This means they can block any suspicious activity from these ads.

They can also be used to block and unblock sites. Some sites block access, which means you can only access them from a specific location, and residential proxies can bridge that lock.

Choosing a Residential Proxy Provider

Finding a residential proxy provider can be overwhelming, considering the vast pool of them available. Here are a few features you should look for in a proxy provider:

  • You should find a residential proxy provider with many residential proxies. The proxies should also provide IP addresses for several locations globally.
  • The proxy provider should have rotation as an option and also have good pool management. This ensures that you can get multiple requests from different IP addresses.
  • The provider should offer authentication methods that suit what you require. A standard authentication method is the username and password approach. Additionally, the proxy should be easily compatible with the tools you want to use it with.
  • The proxy provider should have excellent customer support service. You’ll need to check what level of customer support the proxy provider provides based on response times. A commonly reliable provider will have 24/7 technical support.
  • The proxy provider should be reliable, and this is a must. The provider should ensure low latency and high connection speed with their proxies. Slow proxies can create a bad browsing experience or data scraping activities.
  • Lastly, the proxy provider should be able to offer you a proxy that is within your price range.
