You can purchase a new Windows 10 license directly from Microsoft or authorized retailers.
Sometimes, Windows will automatically activate if it detects a digital license linked to your hardware.
If it shows Windows 11, then you might want to downgrade to Windows 10 for compatibility reasons, or check if your current version supports Minecraft (most recent Windows versions do).
You need to format the disk and reinstall Windows 10 from a bootable device.
This is the correct step!
Even if it's running Windows, the system might not meet the minimum specs required by Minecraft. You can check the system requirements on the Minecraft website.
Your PC is running a server version of Windows, like Windows Server.
Minecraft and regular apps need a home version, like Windows 10 Home.
You can't upgrade from a server to a home version. You must do a clean install of Windows 10.
