Did you install Windows 10 yourself ? Because machine came with  FreeDOS 2.0

You have to pay Microsoft to get the right product key for activation.

To expand on what @banhien told you, you can find out what version of Win10 you are running, and consequently, what license to purchase, by doing the following:

1) Open a command window

2) Enter the command "winver" (without the quotes)
