Laptop windows help

[Bananalad]

Friend of mine bought a laptop with a non genuine version of windows 7 on it, was ok for a few months and then in the bottom right hand corner a water mark appeared with 'Build 7601 this copy of windows is not genuine'

Anyone know how he can sort it? Other than buying the genuine software Says he can browse the internet but hes not able to download any programs to fix the problem.. Thanks

Find a computer that runs Windows 7 and simply *BORROW* the serial off of the bottom...it worked with my copy of Vista

Download it for him and put it on a memory stick if he can't download
