Windows Vista Not Genuine

Question
-
I have a copy of Vista that came with this Dell laptop and has always worked - just recently it came up with the error "This copy of Windows is not genuine" and will not validate. WGA Diag gives:

See what happens if you attempt activation at www.microsoft.com/genuine/validate using Internet Explorer.

I tried this, but I get a validation interuptted message with a prompt to buy windows 7 premium for $149. The system seems to work fine in spite of the not genuine message in the right hand corner. What is the risk in continuing to use the computer and just ignoring the message?
Why should I get windows 7 as advertised when I am offered windows 8 for $40 after I sign off hotmail?
Do I really need either one?

Did you use Internet Explorer??
The non-genuine condition is more of an annoyance than anything else - it's designed that way.
You should still fix it, because the system may deteriorate, and you won't necessarily notice until it's too late.
Please run a full CHKDSK and SFC scan....
Click on Start > All Programs > Accessories
Right-click on the Command Prompt entry
Select Run as Administrator and accept the UAC prompt - the Elevated Command Prompt window should pop up.
At the Command prompt, type
CHKDSK C: /R
and hit the Enter key.
You will be told that the drive is locked,
and the CHKDSK will run at he next boot - hit the Y key, press Enter, and then reboot.
The CHKDSK will take a few hours depending on the size of the drive, so be patient!
After the CHKDSK has run, Windows should boot normally (possibly after a second auto-reboot) -
then run the SFC.
SFC -System File Checker - Instructions
Click on Start > All Programs > Accessories
Right-click on the Command Prompt entry
Select Run as Administrator and accept the UAC prompt - the Elevated Command Prompt window should pop up.
At the Command prompt, type
SFC /SCANNOW
and hit the Enter key
Wait for the scan to finish - make a note of any error messages - and then reboot.
Copy the CBS.log file created (C:\Windows\Logs\CBS\CBS.log) to your desktop (you can't manipulate it directly) and then compress the copy and upload it to your SkyDrive Public folder (http://skydrive.live.com ) and post a link to it so that I can take a look.
Post a new MGADiag report with details of any error messages encountered.
