How do i know whether my windows is legitimate? @Aura

There's a way to know via a tool, but I don't think I'm allowed to use it outside of GTG until my training is done, not sure about it.

This is a good place to start and it's non intrusive

Alternatively you can use the online Validate tool:

Because you said you're a student and you don't have enough money. How happens you own a x86 with that specification?

I'd be glad to know what "GTG" means here, is it a malware-removal training course?

Geeks To Go one would assume They offer a malware removal boot camp. I would think @Aura that you are allowed to suggest official tools such as Microsoft Genuine Advantage validation and the like, but it would be forbidden to suggest someone to do anything which would involve modifying their computer.

Yes it stands for GeeksToGo. Ah and nevermind, the tool I know of is an official Microsoft tool. Should we make the OP use it and see if it's copy of Windows is genuine or not ?

That would have to be the OPs choice I'd say

I am a bit late...but that matters not. Shouldn't be GeekstoGo be rather called GG, because 'to' is usually hidden in English abbreviations? ... Oh, my scientist instincts never sleep... It is true, I remember that 6 years ago I completed my training, but I cannot find my downloaded certificate and it's long since I'm inactive over MalwareRemoval Forum. You're not allowed to suggest any modification or participate in any malware-removal team.
