HP Notebook 15-da2199nia
Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

Yesterday I started getting an excessively intrusive pop up about twice every minute on my HP Notebook 15-da2199nia, it says:
"Your Windows licence will expire soon. You need to activate Windows in Settings"
I bought my Notebook about five months ago and it came with Windows 10 Pro (64-bit, Version 20H2, build 19042.867) pre-installed and activated, so I don't understand what could be going on. What should I do?

Hi:

 

Unfortunately, no one here will be able to help you with that, because HP sold that model with FreeDOS, not W10 Pro.

Someone must have installed the W10 Pro operating system before you bought the notebook, so you will need to contact the seller and have the problem resolved.
