Windows 10: OEM Key not working anymore after system reset. Error: 0xc004f012

Hello, yesterday I had to reset my computer through advanced startup Keep my files and settings, but remove my personal files and reinstall windows 10 due to the fact I accidentally did something with the "Wdf01000.sys" file and couldn't revert my changes because my idiot brain disabled them. Long story short I got my Windows back to working except my key for some reason. It was linked to my Microsoft account and it was preinstalled with my Computer when I ordered it from NZXT.

I believe my Key was an OEM, but it won't let me check
