Hello, I bought an Lenovo LOQ Laptop from Lenovo directly and after purchasing i factory reset my laptop to set it up on my own and after the reset everything was fine until a few weeks later i got a watermark saying "activate windows" so i press troubleshoot and its saying "i cannot activate windows on this device as our activation servers arent available right now" and that i dont have a valid product key now im wondering if its not a valid product key why did it activate in the first place.

Windows for home | Windows 11 | Windows update

    Hi,

    please show Activation page of Settings.

    Check if

    powershell "(Get-WmiObject -query ‘select * from SoftwareLicensingService’).OA3xOriginalProductKey"

    command shows your product key. If not, please ask Lenovo support for preinstalled OS.
