Windows 10: Just reset my windows installation now it says I need to activate windows

just reinstalled windows on my hp z440 workstation Xeon e5-1650v4, 32gb ddr4 2600, Samsung 500gb nvme m.2 SSD pcie gen3 and a 1660 supernow it says I have to activate windows even though the last installation was perfectly fine. I got this pc of a 3rd party seller on facebook marketplace who said windows had 0 issues. Could someone please help me on what's going on and how to fix it if I can. Also, this is the error code I'm getting from activation troubleshoot: 0xc004f012.

Installing Windows 10 using Windows 7 key

Nope, you need to install Windows 10 first and make sure the Windows 7 key is transferred to your Windows account after you've installed Windows 10 (not quite sure how that works). I missed the last step and I could not activate Windows 10 after a re-install... Microsoft seem to have done everything they can to make it a PITA. Also, it's technically too late to do this now anyhow, as the upgrade offer has expired. But KMSPico works quite well...

As for getting rid of Windows, delete the Windows folder.

Step 1

Step 3
update windows
Step 4
install misc etc crap like flash java etc etc
Step 5
