Windows 10: Error 0xC004C003

Earlier today I got my new desktop and installed + activated Windows 10 and please note: Windows 10 was activated and running without any problems!.


But - because I wanted to change the name of the user's folder, I started to look around and found some tutorials on the internet. Unfortunately, I messed things up and Windows started to run in some kind of "temporary-mode". When I couldn't fix the problem I decided to reinstall Windows 10.
But now Windows won't accept my license key and in stead it gives me error 0xC004C003.

Does anyone have a solution or know what to do?
