Windows 7 7600 not genuine

[Nin10dawg64]

about 1 1/2 weeks after installing an old windows 7 ultimate 64 bit OS disc, when i booted this morning i get a message" windows 7600 not genuine", no i assume i there someway to fix(i no longer have my product to key or original packaging for windows 7)" this but first i want to ask, what will happen i I just leave it be? And Is there a legitimate way to buy solely the product key(I don't have $100+ to spend on a new OS)

The software is essentially free. It's the license/product key that costs ~$100. If you no longer have it. You're out of luck. If I remember correctly, you have 30 days to activate your Windows license. After that, it will stop working.

I've had this problem before on my old laptop and wound up having to do a full reformat and reregistration of Windows by calling the MS phone service and entering the product key manually. It sucks but there's no other option.

Some people have been saying that it will stop working after 30 days, others are saying that i'll no longer be able to use microsoft updates and service pack, but it'll still work, how can i check which is true for my case?

Boot up your system on day 31. If it works, you have your answer.
