  2. Windows 10 activation. Pawn shop laptop

  3. Windows 10 activation. Pawn shop laptop

    Recently bought a toshiba laptop from a pawn shop. It has windows 10 installed but when i go to activate it. It tells me “We can’t activate windows on this device as we can’t connect to your organizations activation server. Make sure you’re connected to
    you’re connected to your organizations network and try again” It also tells me im not running a genuine copy pf windows. So, what should I do and, what can i do to fix these issues. Anything would be of help.
