Yes, in this post we will see how to update the pirated versions of the windows Operating Systems without getting those Not Genuine Errors and most importantly not having to format and re installing the OS.
Follow the steps below carefully(Read them twice before you move forward):
- Go to Control Panel --> System and Security --> Windows Update --> Change Settings. You will see a drop down menu, select “Check for updates but let me choose whether to download and install them” and click on OK.
- Once you have done that, select Check for Updates. Now you will get some list of updates including Update For Windows 7(KB971033) or Update For Windows 7 x86 (KB971033).
- Be careful here, uncheck Update For Windows 7(KB971033) or Update For Windows XP(KB971033) update. Note that you uncheck the update with the above number i.e. KB971033 carefully. You also might want to make sure it doesn't show in your updates again by Right Clicking on it and Hiding the update.
- Check all the remaining updates, and click on Install Updates.
Share this with all your friends and let them have this luxury of of updating their OS as well.
