Just because we are providing you a solution to "This copy of Windows is not Genuine" problem, it doesn’t mean I'm supporting piracy. I'm solely against piracy and of course, the best way to solve this problem is to buy a genuine copy of windows 7 from market or online store. This solution is only for those who are not in the position of purchasing a brand new copy of Windows 7 at the moment. Now let’s get you into the solution where I have summed up a step by step guide.

Method-1(Using WAT Remover Software):

1. First you need to download WAT Remover software, so download it from Here

2. Now, Run this application. remember that this is an illegal software and your anti-virus will treat it as Potentially Harmful Software, so run this software directly from Zip file or Disable your anti-virus for 1 minute.

3. Click on  "Remove WAT".

 

4. Confirm by click on OK when asked 

5. Wait for the process and confirm restart and all done, simple!! 

To confirm that "WAT" is removed, right click on "My Computer" and select "Properties". If the process was successful there will not be any "Windows Activation Status" column as earlier. This method works for all Windows 7 versions (Basic, Premium, Ultimate).

 NOTE: DO NOT update Windows after WAT removal (by default Windows update is set as "Automatic”' change this option to "Never"), as it may reverse the process. 

Method-2(Using CMD without Software):

1. First,  you need to open command prompt as Administrator, so open it.

  

2. Now once the command prompt window is opened, type the following command: SLMGR -REARM 

Make sure that you have opened the command prompt using "Run as administrator option" or else this command will not work. See the picture below as reference.
  
 
3. After entering the command as it is, hit the enter button on your keyboard to execute the operation.

 

4. Right after entering the command a confirmation window will popup stating that "Command completed successfully, please restart the system for the changes to take 

effect". 

So follow the instructions and restart the computer so that the changes you have made can take effect.

 
 

5. After restarting the computer, you may not receive any "This Copy of Windows Is Not Genuine" error.

 

So, finally congratulations, you’ve fixed the Windows 7 not genuine error in windows 7.
