I was being notified for the past few days that my Windows license is going to expire, however, I don't know why this is since I bought a new laptop with Windows 11 pre-installed, so I wouldn't have to buy it separately, from Amazon. Moving on, the license expired and I ran the trouble shooter here is what it says. What should I do now?
As your system have Windows 11 Home license, I suggest to downgrade Windows 11 Pro to Home without losing your data:

Once you're on Windows 11 Home, this should be resolved.
If issue still persists, check the type of license. Run slmgr /dlv command and check output for Product Key Channel. If it says GVLK, its a volume license you can't use as end user. In that case, you need to buy new license.
Hope this helps!

It is likely that the laptop came with Windows 11 Home and somehow is using Windows 11 Pro.

As a trial and error step this product key can be tried to return to Windows 11 Home:

Hello ZND
The issue of a Windows license expiry notification on a new laptop could be due to several reasons. Firstly, I suggest that contact the Seller or Manufacturer. If your laptop came with Windows 11 pre-installed, it should have a valid license. Contact the Amazon seller or your laptop’s manufacturer for support. They should be able to provide you with a new product key or help resolve the issue.
You also could check the information below about the similar issue.
Best Regards
I'd contact the seller about this problem.
