Windows 10: Activate Windows Problem

Yesterday, and today, my pc started up with the message "Activate Windows - Go to settings to activate Windows".


The troubleshoot option gives an error code of 0xC004F012.


This pc was purchased from Quiet PC in Jannuary 2016, with a licenced copy of Windows already installed, and has not had any subsequent changes which might affect the licence.


Why has this happened, and how can I put things right?

:)

That seems to be an attempt at Option 2 in the tutorial, which requires you to
a. Boot to a command prompt (Did you?)
b. You then seem to be mixing steps 3,4 and 5, thus your command is incorrect.

I suggest Option 1 is easier.

If you still have problems, please repost listing each specific step and saying which option from the tutorial you are using. Thanks.
