Determine if your Windows 10 is genuine or pirated. Check the product documentation and purchase receipt for details. Look for official Microsoft updates and support information. You can also run built-in checks like Windows Update history or use third-party tools to verify authenticity. If unsure, contact the seller or manufacturer for confirmation before returning the laptop.
Open the command prompt. Enter slmgr /dli to manage the domain controller.
Alternatively, navigate to settings and check the activation status.
It doesn’t seem necessary to rely on pirated Windows 10 since it’s already available for free from Microsoft.
If you find it’s been pirated, there are bigger problems involved. If you just purchased a new laptop, it shouldn’t be in such a condition from any trustworthy seller. You’d wish to reach out to them about it, and maybe also Microsoft if the situation continues. It’s also important to format the device right away because it’s hard to know what malware might have been installed.
