Windows 10: Unable to activiate Windows 10 after moving from VirtualBox to VMWare fusion

I am in the process of moving all of my virtual machines from VirtualBox to VMWare fusion. After copying the disk and starting windows 10 in VMWare Fusion i see a notification that i need to activate windows.

Here's what my activation settings screen looks like:





I tried Troubleshooting:





I am definitely connected to the internet.

I then selected "I changed hardware on this device recently". I thought that since it's a new virtual machine this might do the trick. After selecting, this screen appears:





I clicked Activate on the first listing because that was the VirtualBox machine that doesn't exist anymore. I moved it to Fusion.

After trying to Activiate this appears:





At this point i was willing to consider buying a new key just to get Windows activated. When i select "Go To Store" this screen appears:





This virtual machine is Windows 10 Enterprise. How can i get Windows Activated?

VirtualBox or VMware

Hello

I am using Windows 10 Home and Hyper-V isn't available on this version of OS.

Hence I wanted to use Virtualbox or VMware to run virtual machine and as far as I know Hyper-V isn't even required, I own a HP laptop and cannot find Advanced tab in my BIOS setting to enable or disable Virtualization for 64-bit in Virtualbox.

Can I ever run VirtualBox or setup Virtual Machine via these software?

How to get Advance Tab under BIOS for HP laptop ?

Thanks

Migrating Windows 10 to another machine with VMWare Fusion

I moved my VMware Fusion with Windows 10 to another temporary machine while my previous one is worked on. Fusion seemed to transfer, but Windows 10 won't start up. It keeps telling me that my PC did not start correctly. Do I have to reactivate Windows
10 somehow and how do I reactivate it without a key since it was a free upgrade?
