So, the backstory...my HDMI port was giving me some problems with the TV, so I thought a graphics driver update would solve the problem. Downloaded and installed the driver, but apparently because Microsoft released a bum update (KB3004394), I had to uninstall that before the driver install could work. The first time I tried uninstalling the driver, the system hung on the "Windows is configuring update. Please do not turn off your computer." page, so I had to do a hard reset, Windows reverted the changes, and I logged back in. I was looking for some solutions and ran an sfc /scannow, to which Windows told me there were errors that it couldn't fix, so I opened up the CBS log to see if I could manually fix them and there was nothing to be found. Booted into safe mode, ran it again, same thing - no errors (in the log). Booted normally, uninstalled the same update, took ages, but this time it went through. I was researching other fixes in the interim to see why it may not have been working and came across DISM (System Update Readiness Tool). So when I rebooted after it uninstalled the update, I downloaded and ran the tool. It immediately turned my valid copy of Windows 7 (64bit), not valid and now says that my copy of Windows is not genuine. Additionally, after I had let the tool finished, I took at look at the CheckSUR log and noticed these errors:
