      Where did the system come from?

      Did you activate Windows and did it come with Windows 10?

      Did you change any hardware in the system?

      Post a screen shot of the activation screen.
      Start
      Settings
      Update & Security
      Activation

        Whoever installed Windows gave you a volume license which is intended for corporate use. Your options are to either purchase a genuine license, clean install Windows & hope there’s a genuine key embedded in the BIOS or return the pc & have the seller give you a genuine key.
