What does it mean when Windows is described as "genuine" in this module?
It's properly licensed, unaltered, and verified as software that Microsoft created and supports.
It has the most recent feature updates installed.
It performs faster than non-genuine versions of Windows.
It includes extra applications not available in other versions.
How does software authenticity relate to trust according to the module?
Authenticity and system integrity together establish long-term confidence in system behavior.
Trust is based mainly on how the system looks and feels to users.
Trust depends only on visible security features.
Authenticity matters only during initial device setup.
Which outcome is more likely over time when Windows is non-genuine?
Increased uncertainty about system stability and security
Greater confidence in long-term standardization
More predictable system behavior as conditions change
Clear alignment with licensing and compliance requirements
Why does the module state that genuine Windows matters even when a system appears to work normally?
Because hidden risks might emerge over time despite normal surface-level behavior
Because non-genuine systems immediately fail under load
Because users can easily see all differences between genuine and non-genuine systems
Because appearance is the primary indicator of system reliability
