How to Remove a Windows Genuine Certification
Sometimes Microsoft gets it wrong and believes that your genuine copy of Windows is not genuine, and the notifications that pop up not only get annoying but can keep you from accessing certain files and programs. Luckily, a few files can be deleted that will get those notifications to go away and allow you free roam throughout your operating system. Doing this will allow you to continue downloading Windows updates and using genuine Windows programs.
