Hi Ronelle,

We've found a thread that is related to your concern. We suggest following the steps provided by Andre Da Costa on this link. The steps provided on it was able to help other customers in activating their Windows.

Should you need further assistance, feel free to post your query any time.

Because there is no single language version of Windows 10 1709, you will need to download Windows 10 Home Single Language 1703 from the following link:

Windows 10 Digital License

When you upgraded from a previous version of Windows or receive a new computer preinstalled with Windows 10, what happened is the hardware (your PC) will get a digital entitlement, where a unique signature of the computer will be stored on Microsoft Activation Servers. The Windows 7 or Windows 8 genuine license you were previously running will be exchanged for a diagnostics key.

Anytime you need to reinstall Windows 10 on that machine, just proceed to reinstall Windows 10. It will automatically reactivate. You will prompted to enter a product key a couple times through the installation, click I don't have a key and Do this later.

There is no need to know or get a new key, but if you have issues with Digital Licensing or the Activation Troubleshooter, you can utilize an existing Windows 7 or Windows 8/8.1 product key you already own to reactivate if necessary. or use the reset function in Windows 10.
