    Windows 10 unexpectedly showing Activation Watermark


    I have an HP all-in-one. Bought in 2016 with Win 8. It was connected to the internet and activated. Then it was updated to Win 10. and all available updates at that time were loaded. After that it was relocated to a remote location where there is no internet vailable.After working without issue it has started to display the Needs Activating watermark.How do I re-activate it without internet and especially as Win 10 is no longer supported.Note: It is located remotely and I only visit once a month ish so any advice will be held over until my next visit before I can try out the advice.

    :)
