Help, 'Activate Windows' on the bottom right corner wont go away

[Windows Central Question]

To begin with, I purchased a computer at Best Buy with windows already installed, i upgraded my hardware and had to do a reset on the HDD. Since the reset this message "activate windows, go to settings to activate windows" wont go away. I tried activating it but it says i need to buy a genuine copy.????
