How do I make my windows genuine WITHOUT spending money?

Question

I had try the Product... tools and nothing works.

Answer 1

I liked slim_pat's answer. However, that will NOT make your copy of windows genuine, as you asked how to make your windows genuine. It will simply bypass the nagging.

All methods to accomplish what you ask are illegal except for buying and installing it.

With that said, there are many ways that you can have a working copy of windows without buying it.

You can borrow a friends copy and don't register it. You can get a corporate version that is under a corporate license that doesn't require registration. You can register with a fake license number, etc.

As I said, all of these methods have been used by many people around the world to get around having to buy Microsoft windoze.

Why anyone would want to actually spend their hard earned money on such a piece of crap operating system is beyond me, when you can have a much more powerful, secure and flexible operating system for free.

Linux is FAR superior to any version of windows.

Answer 2

No way. This pertains to Vista and probably any other Microsoft product.

Vista – How Microsoft Prevents Piracy
Source: http://windows.about.com/od/windowsvista/a/spp_vista.htm
Learn what features of Vista will be disabled if the software isn't genuine
Microsoft's efforts to combat software piracy will be stronger with Windows Vista than they are with XP. Microsoft Software Protection Platform, the Vista equivalent of Windows Genuine Advantage, will virtually disable your computer if your Vista install doesn't pass Microsoft's validation test.

Exactly what happens when Microsoft determines that a version of Vista isn't genuine isn't entirely clear in the white paper describing the Sotware Protection Platform (SPP) tools. At one point, Microsoft writes that people using a failed copy of Vista will not lose access to their personal data.

Instead, they will see a persistent message on the desktop telling them the copy of Vista isn't genuine and they will lose access to certain Vista features including:
• Windows Aero
• Windows Defender
• Windows ReadyBoost
• Download Center, Windows Updates, and other updates and new releases
While a persistent message and missing features would be a deterent to piracy, there is the potential that SPP could do much more to disable a copy of Vista that fails validation. If validation fails, Microsoft writes that Vista will enter "reduced functionality mode". Once in reduced functionality mode, users will only be able to use the default Web browser for an hour at a time. No other applications will be available, as there will be no Start menu or desktop icons. After using the Web browser for one hour, Vista will log the user off without warning. The user can log back on immediately, but the same limitations apply. Since the screen shot provided in the white paper says that accessing your computer with reduced functionality will "also allow you to buy a product key online", it appears that the purpose of reduced functionality mode is little more than to provide a way for users of presumed pirated software to purchase another copy from Microsoft.

Exactly what happens when a Vista copy fails validation isn't clear from Microsoft's white paper or press release. Based on the spin Microsoft has put on their efforts to prevent piracy of Windows XP, we'll probably have to wait for stories of "false positives" to determine exactly what features (or core functionality) is lost when Vista fails validation.

Answer 3

First of all. Why is your Windows NOT genuine? Second. Making Windows genuine without spending money is not possible, because you need a license key, and those cost money. All in all, to answer your question I would say that you can't. Without commiting a crime.

Answer 4

you can't make anything genuine unless it had been originally made as genuine
nothing will work on windows for the simple reason that microsoft during registration process takes 2 data from yr computer:
1.- product key number
2.- yr computer serial number
and treats both of these data as match
so if windows had been installed on any other computer product key will match but computer serial number won't and registration will be denied
you can install windows in yr computer and run it for 30 days - after that time period it won't work any more - you can't register it - if you try registration will be denied
