How do I get rid of the "Test Mode Windows 7 Build 7600" watermark after an upgrade from Vista with the retail box?

Just upgraded Vista Home Premium to Windows 7 Home Premium with the official upgrade version (retail box). Upgrade went OK, but I've now got a "Test Mode Windows 7 Build 7600" watermark in the lower right-hand corner. I entered the activation code during
install, and there's no section in the Control Panel for manually activating, so I assume the activation went fine. How do I get rid of this watermark?

Windows 10:You'll experience problems with your display
location:

June 5, 2015
So, MS put a little Windows 10 icon in my task tray and I thought I should check and see if W10 will work on my system or not.
It told me that:
These devices are not compatible with Windows 10
AMD Radeon HD 8330
You'll experience problems with your display
with no indication as to whether or not the problem was solvable.
I went to AMD's site and they show that all of their products are compatible.
Anyone know if this is something that will be fixed when the final version comes out or do I just not get it? I haven't been a tester and was not planning on being an early adopter either, although I am looking forward to it. I applaud MS for what they tried to do with Windows 8, it just didn't work out and now it's time to move on.

How do I do a manual scan of one file with Windows defender and Win 8?
location:
8forums.com - date:
November 6, 2012
Hi,
In Windows 7 I used to be able to right click on a file and one of my choices was to scan with Microsoft security essentials, but that's no longer in my right click menu.
How do I go about doing a manual scan on just one file using Microsoft's (I guess it's now Defender) Security Essentials in Windows 8?
Thanks,
