Windows 7 Ultimate Not Genuine Message

Question
-
I have spent some time looking for possible answers in this forum, but unfortunately I can tell from reading many of the posts that I am pretty computer illiterate. Like many other posts I have read, I began receiving a message in the lower, right-hand corner of my desktop stating my copy of Windows was not genuine. I have been using my computer for a number of months without issue, so I find this confusing. I have attempted to follow the advice of others in an effort to "fix" my problem. My computer was initially installed with Vista but a "clean install" (I believe that is what it is called) of Win7 Ultimate was performed.
Any advice anyone can give will be greatly appreciated. Many people who posted questions provided information from a scan of some sort. There was a link in a post, so I followed it, and here is the information it gleaned:

Unfortunatly, you copy of Windows 7 is, in fact, non-genuine.Below are the 2 main points that tell us this is a Non-Genuine copy of Windows
1)
My computer was initially installed with Vista but a "clean install" (I believe that is what it is called) of Win7 Ultimate was performed.
Your Windows is using a OEM SLP key. This type of key only comes in Windows that come Pre-installed on a computer built by a large manufacturer. This is because an OEM SLP key is geared to work with the OEM Bios Flag found only on that Manufacturer's computer hardware. So when Windows was installed using the OEM SLP key (at the factory) Windows looks at the motherboard and sees the OEM Bios Flag and Self-Activates. (Note: OEM SLP keys and Bios Flags are specific to Manufacturer and Version of Windows. Meaning, for example, a Dell Bios Flag for Vista would not work with a Lenovo Vista OEM SLP key nor a Dell Windows 7 OEM SLP key).
Your computer originally came with Vista, so whould have the OEM Bios Flag for Vista. An OEM SLP key for Windows 7 would not work.
2) The fact that your Windows 7 OEM SLP key did work on a computer that does not have the proper OEM Bios Flag means an Activation Hack (sometime known as a Loader) must be installed. The Hack would make Windows think the proper OEM Bios Flag was present when it is not.
The presents of an Activation Hack is confirmed by your Diagnostic Report which report that a known Activation Hack has been detected. This Activation Hack being detected is what originally caused Windows to go into a Non-Genuine state.
If possable, I recommend contcting the person or company that sold you the software/key and arrange to return it for a full refund.
If this is not possable, some of your other options would be to a) return to using your original copy of Vista or b) click the Learn More Online link in the Non-Genuine message and select the option to purchase a WGA Kit. This is just a retail copy of Windows 7 sold at a discount to users that have suffered from piracy.
Sorry for the bad news,

Hello JacobJordan,
Not to "pile on" but your installation of Office Enterprise 2007 is nongenuine, as well.
For more detailed info, post in the Office section of this forum.
