Windows 10: Activation error 0xC004F074

I am receiving the error 0xC004F074 in regards to Windows 10 not being activated on my device. There are two problems with this: First, I have been using Windows 10 on this device for well over a year since getting the free upgrade, and I have never had the ghosted out 'Activate Windows' icon appear on my screen before today. Second, it says to contact my workplace administrator, and this is not nor has it ever been a work computer.


How do I fix this?

ERROR CODE : 0xC004F074

Hello,

I bought my HP laptop with windows 10 Pre-installed on March 2016. Recently a message started poping up saying

"YOUR WINDOWS LICENCE WILL EXPIRE SOON"

You need to activate windows in your settings.

And in the settings a message shows " Your windows expires on 08th August. Contact your system administrator to get a product key. ERROR CODE : 0xC004F074 "

I tried to activate it with product key I got when I purchased the product as suggested by 'https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/10738/windows-activation-errors' . But it shows that Windows
can't be activated with this product key. Go to settings for more information. Error Code : 0xC004F074

Please help as to what I need to do to activate my product.

Thanks,
