Windows 10: Connect to your organizations server

I have had this laptop for more than 6 years, bought it from FNAC. One day I see the "Activate Windows" watermark, and when I went to solve it, Windows tells me "To activate this product key, this device will need to connect to your organizations activation service." I've tried everything, the product key was legitimate and it has worked for so long. Why has this changed and how am I able to fix this? I don't understand why I should buy another product key if this one is real

Hi

Welcome to Microsoft community.

The error code 0xC004F074 is usually associated with Windows trying to activate itself against a Key Management Service (KMS) host and not being able to reach it. The KMS host is typically used in corporate environments where it's more efficient to have a local server handle the activation of Windows installations rather than each individual machine contacting Microsoft's servers for activation.

Here are some general steps you can take to resolve this issue:

1. Check Network Connection: Make sure your computer is connected to your organization's network. This may mean being physically present in the office, or connecting through a VPN if you're working remotely.
   
2. Use the Command Prompt: You can manually specify the KMS host by using the slmgr.vbs script included with Windows.
   
   • Open Command Prompt as an administrator.
     
   • Type
     
     slmgr.vbs /skms <KMS HOST NAME>:<PORT>
     
     and press Enter. Replace <KMS HOST NAME> and <PORT> with your actual KMS host name and port (usually 1688). You might need to ask your IT department for this information.
     
   • Then type
     
     slmgr.vbs /ato
     
     and press Enter. This will attempt to activate Windows.
     
3. Contact IT Support: If these steps don't work, or if you're unsure about any part of this process, I recommend contacting your organization's IT support team for help.
   

Please note that these steps assume that you're using a legitimate copy of Windows provided by your organization, and that there is a valid KMS host available on your network for activation purposes. If this isn't the case, then these steps won't help resolve the issue.

Please let me know if you need any further assistance. Thank you.
