8.reboot
9.Log in and change the theme to something else (I like Windows Classic) in case the genuine test is still there, than change the theme me back.
10.thats it.
IF Slmgr is not recognized as an internal or external command, do the following.
Go to My computer
Go to “C” drive
Select folder “Windows”
Select folder “System32”
Scroll down until “slmgr.vbs.REMOVEWAT”. Right click on it and rename it to “slmgr.vbs”.
If you don’t find the “REMOVEWAT” extension, remove any other extension at the end of slmgr.vbs
If you can't find the slmgr.vbs at all, which I found sometimes happens, copy it from a different Windows 7 computer or download it.
