"your windows license will expire soon" is what I started seeing once upon loading my pc after a windows 10 update. This is a legit copy, and I did the free upgrade years ago when it was announced. Under the computer's system tab it says my windows is indeed ACTIVATED so what's with this message? I don't want it to randomly stop working on me and the weird thing is, that it doesn't seem to give a day countdown like the old windows systems used to. Is this some kind of error?

I would appreciate some feedback, thanks as always Toms forums !
 


We noticed you are running Windows 10. If you are looking to update to the latest version, click Update now.

Is this what I'm looking for or do I need the Media Creation Tool to make an ISO first?

I would make your own DVD or USB.
 



You should start your own thread because you are confusing this thread.

Oh sorry, they turned out here. They were just screenshots of my activated windows 10 and the windows 10 will expire soon blue box. But yes, I did the cmd prompt and I am on the most updated build.
 



Which is 1607 build 14393.693?

Yes, Version 1607, OS BUILD 14393.693. I guess I can only assume its some bug and I'll dismiss it for now. It's not problematic enough for an install as i t only appears after a boot up once, and doesn't even specify a time frame.
