First, caps lock is bad, second if you open file explorer, go to "my computer" right click on the right side of the window without selecting anything and click properties it will tell you if you are licensed and how to license

Alternatively, you can also click your start orb and type into the search bar, Activate Windows.
A new box will open telling you whether your Windows has been activated and if not, will give you a tab to click on to activate.
