Windows 10: Product Key Expires Soon

I have a refurbished Lenovo Thinkpad Yoga (I've always had trouble finding out exactly what laptop I have, I can't find it's serial number anywhere online so if that name isn't enough, I can't help you) with Windows 10 Pro. I've never had problems with windows
and, in fact, it's still currently active with a valid product key, however, when I logged in today, I got a message from Windows saying my product key would expire soon. Now, seeing as Windows 10 is only 3 years old at most, I see no reason for my product
key to be expiring.
