There is no such thing as windows genuine. To have a genuine windows (any version) means that you have entered a valid product key, windows is activated and you are using windows legally.
No, using a personalization patch will possibly make your copy of windows illegal and you will get messages saying that you windows is not genuine...as it happened in my case.. So, don't go for the personalization patch in case you are using genuine windows HB..
windows
You go up to windows and select add windows form
If you want to get rid of a copy of Windows that is not genuine, you can simply back up your files and uninstall Windows and install another that is genuine. However, you may also be able to just get a key for Windows and then have it rescanned by Microsoft to get genuine validation.
Many new computers do not come with Windows Vista Basic. Some of the older ones do. You can request that they put Windows Vista basic on your computer upon purchasing.
I wouldn't try it unless I had to. But it'll do a better job than Vista. I think there's a version of 7 called Windows 7 Home Basic that might be what you need.
Windows Vista Home Premium has the same features that Home Basic has, in addition to the following features that Home Basic does not have: * Windows Aero interface * Windows Mobility Center * Tablet PC Support * Windows Meeting Space * Windows SideShow * Windows Media Center * Scheduled Backup * Windows DVD Maker * Assorted Games * Windows Movie Maker
I would use Windows Basic theme.
First, Microsoft does not have a "Home Basic" edition of Windows 7 (Home Basic was one of the Vista editions). The most basic edition of Windows 7 is called "Windows 7 Starter" and is only available (at least in the US) on certain small "netbook"-type computers, which may be a bit underpowered for the Home Premium edition. (Note that I'm not saying that any particular one is, just that it's possible.)That said, Windows 7 has a feature called "Windows Anytime Upgrade" that allows you to go from a "lower" edition of Windows 7 (such as Starter) to a "higher" edition (such as Home Premium). The cost is around $80 for the Starter to Home Premium upgrade directly from Microsoft; you may be able to get it for slightly less from retailers such as Amazon.com.If you actually have Windows Vista Home Basic, the upgrade price to Windows 7 Home Premium (again, directly from Microsoft) is about $120.
That edition of Windows Vista does not exist. Windows Vista exists in two editions for home users: Windows Vista Home Basic and Windows Vista Home Premium.
restart your computer
because vista home basic only has the basic theme not the aero one
