Windows 10: How to activate windows 10 after KMS client was used to activate?

I bought a used laptop and wasn't aware until now that the seller used KMSPico to activate Windows 10 Pro N. After about 5 months I started getting pop-up notifications stating that Windows required to be activated. No matter what I've tried I cannot get any windows keys to activate I first tried using a Win 10 Pro OEM key and then a Home OEM key; neither have worked. I have performed a clean install multiple times and have attempted to clear the existing registry of any existing product keys to no avail. Most recently I have used Windows Powershell and entered the command: slmgr.vbs /dlv to

Windows 10 Activation (Insider)

Yeah they blacklisted the insider keys at RTM, so u need to activate it again. They're using KMS server activation, so there's only handful of keys.

If you don't have any luck I can show another quicker method...lol

 

KMS Activation threshold

I am looking into setting up a KMS server vs using a MAK for a small (<100 clients) offline network of PCs with Win10 and Office 2016. I did a lot of web searching (Bing, obviously) but still have a few questions that I was not able to find answers to that
I was hoping someone could help with.

1. I know KMS has the 25 PC threshold before it will activate any, but what happens on the 26th activation request? Will the KMS server activate the 26th PC or does the threshold count start over and it will wait for 24 more activation requests?
2. After a re-image, I read that we can use the same MAK to activate Windows 10 using VAMT if we saved the .cilx file as long as there haven’t been any major hardware changes. Is this possible for Office 2016 as well? I haven’t been able to find any
   documentation on it.

Thank you!
