I recently had an issue with my gaming laptop where I had to get a new SSD installed along with a brand new Windows 10 operating system. I called the local mobile repair guy that had great reviews. He picked up my laptop Tuesday morning at 9am and was done by 3pm that afternoon. He dropped it off and we went over what he did and made sure everything was running fine. He charged $150 for the new Windows 10 Pro edition key/install. After he left I went through the system and started realizing that somethings weren't working like Windows Update or Windows Defender along with several other things. I started to worry about the legitimacy so I checked the Activation in Windows OS where I found that it said "Windows is activated using your organization's activation service". I had no idea what this mean so of course, I looked it up...found something to type in Command Prompt. It is a Volume KMS Client Version that has an expiration of 180 days. So basically I was told that I'd be getting a full retail version of Windows 10 that lasts forever, and instead was given this. Also on the SSD i found a program called "Winaero" after poking around it I saw that he had used it to disable Windows Updates/Defender along with 100 other things.
I'm wondering if anyone can give me more information on this or how I should go about handling this?
I can provide more information if that helps. Thanks guys
