A. One of the easiest ways to determine whether your Windows software is genuine is to visit the How to Tell website and run the Windows Validation Assistant. Alternatively, at this same site, you can review the anti-piracy features of the software you’ve acquired to determine the authenticity of your software. In addition, you can learn about the Windows Genuine Advantage program.
