Kindly check and try the methods below and see how it goes.

• press Windows key + R and then on the run box type in there cmd and press Enter or hit OK and then on the Command Prompt type in there

• You can also use ShowKeyPlus which you download from the MS Store to get the key and copy and save the product key on whichever method you will use

Method 1:

• Press Windows key + X and click on Run
• Type in services.msc and press Enter or hit OK and this open up the Services window
• Look for Software Protection and double click on it, and try to Stop and Start the service or Start it whichever is applicable
• After doing the above check and try the product key again

Method 2:

• Type in cmd from the search bar on the taskbar
• Right click on the command prompt from the search result and click on Run as administator
• Copy/paste the command below and execute then one by one

dism.exe /online /cleanup-image /scanhealth

dism.exe /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth

dism.exe /online /cleanup-image /startcomponentcleanup

sfc /scannow

• After doing the above check and try the product key again

Method 3:

• Open again command prompt but run it as an administrator and execute the commands below and press Enter after each command

slmgr.vbs /ato - proceed to the next one if this will not work

slmgr.vbs /upk - this will uninstall your product key

slmgr.vbs /ipk XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX (X represents your 25 character product key)

• Check if this will activate Windows
• If it will still not work, kindly try to reach out to the IT support of the school to check if the product key that you have is still valid for use

Sorry, I just try your solution. I have been away from my computer this past 2 weeks. I skip the part on looking at my windows key actually and removing it and replaced it with generic key. Since, I don't know the real activation key will it work?
Also, before it was activated by azure something, i forgot the name. So, I am never bother to checked the activation ID.
