    1

    What happened on your PC before Windows was not activated.

    2

    Where did you get your Windows licence was that pre-installed on the PC or did you purchase a full retail Windows licence direct from Microsoft or from a 3rd party retailer?

    Or is your Windows licence based on a previous Windows 7 or 8 licence?

    3

    Click your Start Button, type cmd then right click Command Prompt and choose 'Run as Administrator'

    Run or paste this command and hit Enter:

    slmgr.vbs /dlv

    Please post a screenshot of the resulting dialog

    4

    Download the free ShowKeyPlus app from the Microsoft Store.

    On the that app, click 'Check Edition', then enter your product key into that app.

    Please provide a screenshot of that app window and please hide your product key in the screenshot.
