For anyone having trouble with the "Not Genuine" nags, try this.
1. Migrate to windows update and uninstall Update KB971033.
2. Open an elevated command prompt (ie click start, type CMD in seach box, right click cmd, select run as administrator).
3. Type the following in command promt: slmgr -rearm. (Leave a space between the r and the -, but no space between the - and r of rearm).
Hit enter and exit command prompt.
4. Re-boot TWICE.
Works on Win 7 Build 7600 onwards. You can now set desktop backgrounds etc as normal and "not genuine" notices should be a thing of the past.
and it is showing genuine again, for now? BUT it is working.
