Windows 10: HELP! I can't activate Windows 10 on my laptop - I've had this laptop for 4 years and this...

I can't activate Windows 10 on my laptop because I don't have a product key. When I go to Settings>Update and Security>Activation, this the message that appears on the page:


'We can't activate Windows on this device as we can't connect to your organization's activation server. Make sure you're connected to your organization's network and try again. If you continue having problems with activation, contact your organization's support person. Error code: 0xC004F074.'


The edition I have is Windows 10 Education.


I don't have a product key and I don't know where it is because my dad purchased this laptop for me 4 years ago. In the 4 years that I've had this laptp, I've never had this message appearing on my Settings page before. I really don't know what to do. Please help?

Worth upgrading to Windows 10 with my laptop?

Since it's a laptop I would just stick with Windows 8.1 and when it's time to buy a new laptop then Windows 10. My gaming laptop that I travel with has Windows 7 and it's fine. When I buy a new laptop in a couple of years Win 10 will be nice.

 

Worth upgrading to Windows 10 with my laptop?

Yeah I was thinking the same thing, by then all laptops have Windows 10 or other new OS when I buy a new laptop.
Everything runs fine now and I prefer not to re-install all my games and software.

 

Best laptop under $800??

Well the last one I suggested seems to be the best for 650$
