On my desktop in right bottom corner, it reads windows 7 Build 7601 This copy of windows is not genuine.

It came with my computer so how do I get rid if it?
Does it give you the option to verify it online?  If so give that a shot - if not, then there should be a phone number for you to call Microsoft.  Since it came with the computer, it should be a valid license.  

 

When did this message start happening?  Did any hardware get changed in the computer recently?
