this copy of windows is not genuineI gave the kids my hubby's laptop. they have managed to somehow to get a copy of windows 7 that isn't genuine on the computer. my password as admin doesn't work. I am can't figure out the password to do anything to the computer. I can't change programs, run a virus scan or nothing. Can someone tell me how to get my password? thanks

Re: this copy of windows is not genuineIs your goal to remove the illegal copy of Windows 7?
Do you regularly back up your hard drive? HP Envy with 2.9/4.4 ghz i7-10700 and 16 gig of RAM running Windows 11 Pro
Re: this copy of windows is not genuineit's the kids computer.. I don't back up files regularly if ever.. I have the key for the original windows but It won't let me log in as admin to change anything..

Re: this copy of windows is not genuineYou might need to wipe it and reinstall the original operating system.

Re: this copy of windows is not genuineIf you have the installation disk from the original system, you should be able to boot from the disk and it will give you the option to format and install using your original key.
When your kids installed Win 7, they wiped out your original install. You no longer have an administrator account on that computer. That's a hacked version and won't be able to be updated. That makes it very vulnerable to malware. You need to get a legally licensed OS installed and talk to your kids about the ethics and legal liabilities of installing hacked software.
Re: this copy of windows is not genuineI didn't get a cd when I purchased the computer. it isn't a big deal as it is an old computer. mine have passwords on them and they are not allowed to touch them.. they messed it up and they won't be getting a new one anytime soon... I have talked to them about things like that but it goes in one ear and out the other.. hopeful;;y they have learned from their mistakes.. thanks for the help.
