Hi,
Did you reinstall the OS on the machine?
Are you connected to internet?
If you go into settings > update and security > activation > and click on troubleshoot what happens
Let us know,

Hello David. No. I haven't reinstalled it. I just updated the windows with the updates sent by microsoft and I am doing it for the past 3 years. Yes I am connected to the internet.
I did the Trouble shoot which you suggested and I got a message " we found a digital license for Windows 10 Pro. To activate this device, select activate.

Hello David. The issue has been resolved after following your instructions. Thanks a lot for your help. After selecting the activation, the product has been activated with the confirmation " Windows is activated with a digital license key linked to your microsoft account. Thanks for your help
