Hi there, it's been awhile. After performing factory reset on this computer, thus it lead to this issue, I can't activate the windows, and even I ignore it, sometimes it still pops up on screen asking me to activate the windows, it is really annoying especially when I am playing games

Hi Kean,

Was this computer bought from a store or online from Dell, HP, etc or did you build it? Did Windows 8 come with it or did you buy a key?

Hi,

My brother purchased this laptop from a physical store in Singapore(years ago) and I had confirmed with him, the windows 8 came with a product key, he didn't pay extra to purchase the key, what he pay is just the price mentioned on the price tag showned at this laptop.

From the desktop screen, press the Windows key and S, type “Command Prompt”. Then, right-click on Command Prompt in the results. Select Run as Administrator. Click Yes when asked about requesting permission.
In the Command Prompt box, enter the command: slmgr.vbs -ipk xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx
The x’s represent the product key. Replace these with your unique product key.
Type in the following command into the “Command Prompt” window: slmgr.vbs -ato
Click Enter
Restart your computer and try to activate windows again. It should not show the error code anymore SOURCE
