Your windows license will expired soon (laptop, operating system, screen, Office)

Your Windows License will Expire soon..your need to go to settings.....' continues showing up on my screen. When I go to setting I don't know what to do. I am afraid that if I tap on something about renewing this license then I'll need to pay something. My windows 10 is a copy.

Well, is your credit card on computer or Microsoft file? How they are going to charge you?
You should know that most software license keys on an individual's computer don't expire. Certain software (such as Microsoft Office suite) might expire, but the operating system on a computer should not.

To fix it follow this instruction:

Or perform manual reactivation:
Fix “Your Windows license will expire soon” Via Manual Reactivation.
Now, type slmgr -rearm command in the command prompt and hit Enter key to run this command. Click OK button when Command completed successfully message. Restart your system.

BTW: did you buy your computer used from someone? Was the Win10 pre-installed on a new computer? Did you installed it yourself when the Win10 upgrade rolled out?

That "article" looks to me like one big advertisement.

What do you mean that your Windows 10 "is a copy"?

Yes - did it come with your computer? Did you buy it yourself? Or, did someone just give you a copy?

If your serial # is being used by someone else, you will have an issue

Exactly.

I lived in Thailand for a couple of years, and saw that happen a lot with illegal Windows software.

That's what I was asking but didn't get answers.
Was the laptop brand new from the store with factory software, or previously owned? Is the Win10 a legit update done by OP, or a copy he got from somewhere...
