Hello. Just today, after browsing the internet, I noticed a watermark on the bottom right of my screen in grey, "Activate Windows Go to Settings to activate Windows."
I read up on this and it seems like people have gotten this before, but I am confused as to why I have received this watermark.
I bought my desktop from Amazon and have had it since early 2016 with no problems other than a bluescreen every now and again.
From what I remember, I already activated my Windows 10 PC, as it came with Windows 10, so I have no idea why I have this watermark on my screen. I also cannot enter a product key that is ON MY PC box, as I entered it already when I got the PC and it says there was an error. I even have my desktop background changed ALREADY, showing my activation.
It also says "We can't activate Windows on this device right now. You can try activating again later or go to the Store to buy genuine Windows. Error code: 0xC004F012" on the Activation tab of Settings.
I really am confused as to how this even would happen, and am glad to take any help. Thanks.
