Windows 10: Laptop came with pre-installed windows 10 is now asking to activate

I bought my laptop online which had pre-installed genuine windows 10. It worked well for a few months but after that, it started showing "please activate your windows". I realize that I have a digital license and it should be activated automatically but it's not detecting no matter what I do. After troubleshooting in the activation it shows as below:





After clicking on "upgrade your edition of windows", the laptop restarts and a notification pops up that the update could not be installed please contact Microsoft.
Please Help.

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.

 

Formatting a Laptop that came pre installed with Windows 7

I just recently found my old laptop that I want to wipe clean and re install Windows 7. I have the product key that was on the bottom of the laptop and need to know the next steps. Windows 7 was pre installed. I did not purchase it.

 

I occasionally get an activate windows blue screen which has an option to go to settings and the activation screen in the settings menu is blank. My laptop came with windows 10 pre installed.
