So, for the very last 3 days of using, the same pop-up message comes to the monitor every 4 hours to remind you. Advertisement It may be irritating a little bit, but you can ignore it by canceling. Technically, they are all the very minor problems and in spite of these problems, one can with ease use the OS.
But the penalties and main problems start after the grace period. Firstly, you can not access the control panel of the Operating System. Secondly, every one hour, the same disgusting pop-up message comes to the screen to distract and irritate you and says the same thing. Thirdly, the background wallpaper of the computer turns into a pure black that means no wallpaper at all. Still, they all are minor problems and you can most probably work with it. So it would be very insecure to use Windows 7 without activation.
Only some particular users used to use this version of Windows. The penalties for not activating Windows after trial period were very strange and disgusting for the users. After one hour of using Windows, it automatically logged out itself and that caused the important tasks to interrupt badly and became very problematic to complete any long-time task. The users again had to log in to Windows to accomplish their interrupted tasks. But fortunately, Microsoft solved this problem very soon and reduced the penalties on the new version of Vista.
But still, there was a mixture of small and big penalties. In this mode, one could not get premium features of Windows. That means, the user could not play the in-built games of the OS and the user also could not use the bit locker. After the trial period, the Aero glass theme of Windows was disabled. That means the display looked pretty boring and bad actually.
You may have already guessed that as the Aero glass theme was disabled, that means no personalization option was available for the users like changing wallpapers or any modification of the display and background. But the major problem with that new service pack was; if one did not activate it, the OS did not receive any type of bug fixing and featured updates.
Finally, an unactivated Vista will automatically log you out of the system after only one hour of use until you successfully activate it. Unlike Windows XP and Vista, failure to activate Windows 7 leaves you with an annoying, but somewhat usable system. According to a Microsoft developer blog post on "Microsoft Developer Network," if you don't choose to activate Windows 7 during installation, you will see an "Activate Windows Online Now" message in the system tray.
If you don't activate then, you will see and "Activate Now" message every day from day four through day Until day 30, you will get the "Activate Now" message every four hours until day After day 30, you will get the "Activate Now" message every hour, along with a notice that your Windows version is not genuine whenever you launch the Control Panel. In addition, Windows 7 does not perform any system updates after the grace period.
Finally, Windows will automatically turn your screen background image to black every hour — even after you change it back to your preference. This behavior continues until you successfully activate Windows 7. Windows 7 is a bit more challenging than its predecessors. You will also be unable to use or access any built-in media content or apps such as the Microsoft Office suite of products without an internet connection and working product activation key. To continue using your computer after this time, you will need to activate Windows 7 with the correct product key.
Microsoft has confirmed that Windows 7 can be used for up to days without providing a product activation key, similar to its predecessor. Yes, but be careful when using it. Product keys can only be used once on a single computer. This means that any product key you have is specific to the computer you used it on and cannot be transferred to another Windows 7 installation or device. If this happens, then activation will fail. In order to re-gain access, you will need to know the product key for the Windows 7 installation on your computer.
When you boot up your computer, click Start and Control Panel.
