Windows 10: Activate Windows 10 suddenly pops up on the corner of my screen

Hello!


So I boot up my pc and this program called "kms activator" suddenly launches. Never heard of it and don't know how it got on my pc. It said something about activating windows, but mine was already activated. It looked kinda suspicious so I uninstalled it. So a few minutes later the activate windows 10 watermark pops up and I get confused. I got my pc from a store that sells custom-built computers and i'm assuming they put a pirated copy of windows on it, because when I first got the pc and I booted it up, everything was already configured and installed, like it was already used and windows was activated. I just want to get rid of this annoying watermark that's been haunting me for the past few days. I tried the troubleshooter, but had no luck, so I thought maybe an actual person can help. The error code is 0xC004F074.

Windows 10 Tweaks

Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

• Open a new Explorer window.
• Click View in the ribbon.
• Click Options.
• Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
• Click OK

DOWNLOAD WINDOWS 10 NOW - Upgrade and ISO direct from microsoft

Click to expand... Yeah I went to that site, why do I need to buy a key?
I won't buy a key, stupid.

I'll revert back to windows 7 then.

When I still was on windows 7, about a year ago I added 4GB extra ram which is a total of 8GB now,
is that causing the problem?
