How do I make my Windows 7 Genuine again?

Hello, I really need help...

My Windows 7 was genuine the first time I got it now, it says that it's not a genuine build 7601. How can I fix this? I tried Microsoft's validation tool and it said it was genuine, but it didn't do anything to fix it. I cannot afford to buy another copy and my product key sticker on my laptop is gone!

How can I make my PC genuine again without buying it!? By the way, before it was marked as non-genuine, I had Windows 7 Home Premium.

Thanks,

Moon

    Here - Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\System

    It should say at the bottom if its activated and give the product code for your Windows. If not go to http://www.microsoft.com/genuine/validate/ to validate. Or phone Ms. Any other method of activation is illegal therefore can't be mentioned here .
