Hi, does anyone know what this means. From my understanding I have to buy a new windows 10 activation key but I’m a noob to these things.

is this your device or does it belong to your school/place of work? how did you activate it originally?

It is my personal computer but I bought it off someone so I am not sure how it was activated originally

This PC seems to be one that belonged to an organization that provided internal license activation. It's common on refurbished workstation PCs coming from large corporations. This kind of activation is part of the Microsoft KMS.

 

As you can tell, you need an activation server and a minimum number of client systems to reach the activation threshold. Since this system is no longer in that environment, you likely won't be able to activate it. I'd suggest purchasing a new product key and using that instead.
