Windows 10: I added a new hardDrive and some new compnets to my Computer and It wont let me activate it...

I am a disabled Veteran and in school, I had to buy a new hard drive and upgraded my memory and GPU and reinstalled windows And it won't activate. Why not? What can I do to get rid of that annoying little activate Windows sign? I purchased windows once Im not paying for it a second time due to hardware failure. this is ridiculous. Please advise

New harddrive installation issue with Windows 10

I installed a new internal SATA 4T harddrive. It is visible in the BIOS setup and Device Manager. It is not visible in the Computer Management/Disk Management Console view. What do I need to do to activate the drive and make it usable?

Thanks
