    Activate Windows Watermark

    Hi,

    I bought an Asus computer directly from Asus (Amazon) and it came with Windows 10.

    It works fine and all but an Activate Windows watermark keeps comming to my screen.

    I have tried a lot of solutions via Youtube that erased this watermark but just for a one day. Everytime I turn on the computer the watermark appears.

    Can you help me?

    Thanks.

    Alfredo Parietti.
