I made all the upgrades on my computer, including the storage. Windows says it isn’t activated, but it linked to my email. No watermarks are visible, and I’m still unsure what’s going on.

Yeah, I need to purchase it once more... But it’s odd since I don’t have the watermark either.

Not always necessary; if it's a retail license, you can pass it along.

You can locate it by checking the system settings or searching for updates in the Dell support portal. Since it's a Windows 10 upgrade, you might need to use the built-in tools or contact Dell for assistance.

Sure thing, but that was definitely odd... I downloaded the Windows 10 updates myself. After restarting the PC, it needed to confirm my email and then re-activate. Finally, it let me proceed—though I was thinking I’d spend $10 on it. Phew!

The most straightforward method is likely outlined on the Microsoft site—simply clicking the troubleshoot option. It’s reassuring to confirm it functions.
