Windows 10: I have 3 keys on my Windows?

Hello good. I have a problem that does not leave me alone. It happens that a few days ago I asked for help to a guy who offered technical service to format and install a clean Windows on my laptop. Well, everything seems fine up to here... but I checked with the ShowKeyPlus tool and with the CMD command: wmic path softwarelicensingservice get OA3xOriginalProductKey that my Windows has been activated with an OEM key that I don't remember ever buying.I also tried the method of creating a notepad and typing: Set WshShell = CreateObject"WScript.Shell"MsgBox ConvertToKeyWshShell.RegRead"HKLM\SO

  Restart now.
  
• 
  Click on Troubleshoot, Advanced options, and Startup Settings.
