windows 10 activation

I recently bought a used laptop off of the letgo site and I am having nothing but problems with it. "Your Windows License will expire soon, You need to activate Windows in Settings" keeps popping up but when I go to Settings it says Windows is activated. It also says on the same settings screen, Your Windows license will expire soon, error code 0xC004F074. I am also having a problem with Microsoft Store, I cannot download any apps. They all say they are not compatible with this device.  I am not use to Windows and Im at a complete loss. I would definitely appreciate some help.  The info on the pc is: Windows 10 Pro 2015  Windows is activated.

Hi,

Your device appears to have a KMSClient license of Windows which is used for business environments. These licenses must be rearmed after every specific interval.. Using it on a Home environment is termed as a counterfeit copy.

The reason why you still see it activated is still it has 15 days before it needs to rearmed.

I suggest you to ask the seller if it came preinstalled Windows. If no, you would have to buy a Windows License.

Always include PC Specs, Make and Model of the device. Ensure all the latest quality updates have been installed. It may take multiple replies to reach a satisfactory answer.
