moved to correct forum as not a "building a new pc" issue. supposedly your windows is not legit, did your windows come with the pc or did you buy the windows & installed it on the pc?
When you installing Windows. You can use 10 diffirent product keys. only few of them are correct, incorrect onces will lead you to death. I was lucky, I insert the WinXP cd, choose C:\ and I was abled to change my product key... Stilll, backup all files before you do that...
