Go to the Microsoft website and run the Validation tool. Otherwise try to activate your copy of Windows

What makes you think that your windows isn't genuine?

Not always the case Riot2

I bought a used laptop loaded with Windows 7 and are having problems with it. So if someone know how to check let me know please.

With the latest cracks this method won't tell you 100% if its legit.

If you don't have the paper with the product key, or if its not stuck on the laptop/pc then its probably not legit.

Laptops almost alway's have a COA stating the OS version and your key stuck underneath. Either it's not there in which case your laptop is not licensed or possibly the wrong OS installed.
