    Welcome to Windows!

    Because Windows installed on your PC is genuine, enjoy the security, reliability and protection it provides.

    Hi,


    You can also use MGA Diagnostic Tool to check the result.

    This is the FOURTH thread that ARTAN RAMAJ has posted to - and in all others he has already posted teh MGADiag report.

    I'll say it again.....

    You get the same answer here as I gave you elsewhere -

    Computers that come pre-installed with Windows from large manufacturers usually come with two Product Keys.

    OEM SLP: This is the key that came in Windows (from the factory). It works by connecting to a BIOS flag (the SLIC table) found only on computers from that Manufacturer. It also checks for the existence of proper matching licenses in the OS itself. Once it sees both, it self-activates every time the machine is rebooted.

    COA SLP: This is the key seen on the sticker located on the side, bottom or in the battery compartment of your machine. This key is for use if the OEM SLP self-activation stops working for whatever reason.

    As far as I can tell, your installation is genuine.

    No-one in this forum has access to the internal database required for a better knowledge (at least as far as I know) - and that would require that you install your COA Key anyhow.
