My suggestion is to do a clean install. Make sure you select the same edition that you had activated before. After installing, Windows 10 will get activated automatically using the Digital License for your PC.
You can get the ISO file of version 1709 build 16299 http://bit.ly/FallCreatorsUpdate.

  I looked at the Activation troubleshooter - it states that a digital license exists for this machine for running WIndows 10 Pro, and that I need to install Windows 10 Pro but that is the version that I am using.
  
  Also, I am running version 1703 15063.608. I will attempt a cleaan install of that build.
