Where did you buy the copy of windows, was it for around 100 dollars. Was it included in a prebuilt/oem? 

 

Have you changed any hardware. 

 

Try trying your key in again.

That's highly suspicious that it would just now give you issues after all these years.  Assuming your install really is legit, I have to guess this is some sort of virus. Have you run a tool like Malwarebytes to scan and remove issues?

Have you tried to go to control panel > system and activating it?

 

If not you can roll back to windows 7 to reinstall the windows 10 upgrade again.

Was your Windows 7 version Pro as well?

Malwarebytes is a great tool for removing various kinds of malware (viruses, trojans, etc.)

 

If this issue of yours is in fact some malicious program trying to trick you into buying something from a bad company, it should find it, and it should remove it.

Assuming your key was not black listed because someone has a key gen and using it, or your key is distributed on the web so multiple users have it:

You can re-enter your key and re-activate your Windows.

 

Look into that.
