Activation of Windows even though it is active?

I have a problem for a long time. 2 years ago I ordered an original gaming laptop from MSI which came with the latest Windows pre-installed. Now it's always like that, when I turn it on, it's in the bottom right corner of the screen, activate Windows. Switch to the settings to enable Windows ", but in the setting I can't enable Windows because it is already enabled or has it expired, can I fix it without losing any data?

Thanks for the help because the problem torments me really long and it bothers a lot when playing.

Seems to be a bug of Windows, how to fix it, but I do not know. If you are 5 euro not too much, I would simply get a new key on ebay.

Give times in the search bar bottom left slui 3 or slui 4 ein.Es opens a window where you can enter the key.

First, I would be careful with the keys, as they often do not work or be locked shortly after acquisition for a license violation. In addition, it does not fix the problem, because the computer still needs to be activated and a license already exists.

I have now ordered a key. Rather spend 5 euro instead of gambling with such an annoying problem.

I did not get a key unfortunately since it was preinstalled.

Secure your data.

Go to Troubleshooting, can help, by the way, we're on Windows 10.1903.

Was unnecessary.

5 euro for probably still the problem or even without another key immediately recoverable? So I also have some keys that have been used many times. Buy 5 for the price of 4 xD

It is stored in the BIOS - how to read the whole easily is well described here:

I have been buying such keys for over 10 years. Until Win 10 always OEM and never had problems, although I often upgrade. That CAN happen, but it usually does not. To put 5 euro in the sand is still better to pay 100 euro at Microsoft.

Firstly, buying a key here is meaningless, since a valid one exists and you can just as easily solve the problem and, secondly, if you are not careful, you may still be liable to prosecution yourself…

And what are the traders usually you saw here:

Select manual installation.

That was a mistake. On heise.de this error was described by Windows and how to fix it.

Well, then help him.
