Yes unfortunately. You would have to backup your files etc & gather the installation media for any software you have.

You can try the suggestion here:

Or download the Media feature pack:

https://www.microsoft.com/download/details.aspx...

If neither work then a clean install is required.

    Then chances are it’s a KMS/Volume license.

    If the cost was much lower than a genuine license from Microsoft then this is certainly the case.

    Run this cmd within powershell with admin powershell “(Get-WmiObject -query ‘select * from SoftwareLicensingService’).OA3xOriginalProductKey”

    Or wmic path softwarelicensingservice get OA3xOriginalProductKey if using cmd prompt.

    Or: Check this program to reveal if there’s a key embedded in the BIOS:

    https://neosmart.net/OemKey/

    Or: Download and run this: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/p/showkeyplus/9... to find all keys used on the PC.

    If it doesn’t show any key then don’t worry as this is normal if the PC came with Windows 10.

    If it shows a key then please let me know - do not post the key.

    Also run this to see what is currently installed & post the screenshot:

    Right click on start & choose powershell with admin & enter: slmgr.vbs /dlv

    This will show a popup showing whether your license is OEM, Retail, or Volume amongst other information.

    If this states you have a volume licence then there is away to return to a legal key if there's one in the BIOS.

    If it does please post back.
