Windows Activation Error, And Troubleshooting Tool Error

This is a laptop that I bought new from best buy, and when I got it, it was activated and everything, but recently I reset my windows 10 because of a Blue screen of death that wouldn't go away, so i did a complete factory reset, and now it shows that windows is not activated, It's hella annoying because it keeps bringing up a Blue screen saying "Activate windows now!" And you have to wait 5 seconds to click off.

This is what happens when I try to use the troubleshooter
