Those are either stolen keys or key taken out from OEM machines which were never activated. There is an article on the same on internet, have a look.Is buying serial key from relatively unknown sites safe?
Windows 10 Professional {Pro} Latest Edition 32/64 Bit Genuine Product With 100% Original Retail Lifetime License For 1 PC/User – Dealkart India
This site is selling Windows 10 Pro key for Rs385. Is it safe?
By the way, my Windows update setting says -- "Your version of Windows has reached end of service. We recommend you update to the most recent version of Windows 10 to get the latest features and security improvements."
My Windows OS build info is this
Edition: Windows 10 Enterprise
Installed on: 20 Feb 19
Version: 1803
OS Build: 17134.1276
How can i get to the latest version of Windows 10??

Obviously, illegal to disable/remove watermark from other methods of unlocking.

Try voidtools if you haven't already(portable version is just ~1.5mb),may find it better.

I have already run all the updates. No updates left.
Then just download the latest win 10 19H2 version from TechBench by WZT (v4.1.1) & run the setup.exe inside iso file for in-place upgrade. Of course do take backup of any important data before doing this.
P.S. did you get my PM?
IMO, the best and most effective way to speed up windows 10 is to disable indexing on drives, and just use "Everything" app. It searches like a charm.

read somewhere on internet that these people are running a scam to get payment information of customers so better not visit that site again.
i have used unactivated for some time, noticed the watermark but didn't had any problems. so i fully agree with what SaiyanGoku is saying.

However, I do have vast experience with Windows 7 & earlier Windows editions.
Kindly suggest.

- "Reset this PC" using Windows Settings menu
- Do a "Fresh Start" using Windows Settings menu
- or use the bootable USB drive to format & do a "Clean Install" of Windows.
However, I do have vast experience with Windows 7 & earlier Windows editions.

4: Replace the HDD with SSD.
^^Indeed.
@g_goyal2000 buy a good ssd like Buy Online Crucial MX500 2.5″ 250GB SATA III 3D SSD CT250MX500SSD1 In India & buy soon as ssd prices are going to increase this year anywhere from 10% to 40%. After that download & install latest version of win 10.

Thanks for your reply. I am aware that SSD is the need of the hour.
But the issue right now with me is that my laptop is still under extended warranty & till it expires, I fear removing / replacing the OEM components.
Moreover, since it's a family laptop, many family members have their data stored too & as such, I cannot unilaterally replace the HDD / ODD with SSD (the laptop also has a functional ODD which almost every member uses).
And then there's the space constraint too.
250 GB against 1TB is too less. Right now, out of 1 TB, there is only 250 GB free space on the HDD.
So, in a nutshell, replacing the HDD with SSD is a strict no-no at the moment.
My only option right now is out of the ones I mentioned in my earlier post.
As such, kindly suggest.

Then to be honest, you have no real solution. Resetting would work for a while but being a HDD, it'll start crawling again. My "new" office desktop, which has 8GB DDR4 ram and 500GB HDD, is slower than my father's 8 year old laptop with 4GB DDR3 ram but 240GB SSD (recently upgraded).

Dell has a relaxed upgrade policy so replacing hdd with ssd should not be an issue,you can contact dell customer care about this. The only thing left then is storage issue. You can always use the internal 1TB hdd as portable external hdd by using a cover like *www.amazon.in/External-Portable-USB3-0-2139U3-CR-Transparent/dp/B01N07NBLA/ Depending on your budget you can also get a cheap 480gb ssd like Buy Online Seagate Maxtor Z1 480GB 2.5inch SATA SSD YA480VC1A001 In India OR *www.amazon.in/Kingston-SSDNow-Internal-SA400S37-480GIN/dp/B079T8BZMG/ (10% off using BoB credit card,there should be a sale in March too).

If under warranty, then contact DELL service. They will resolve your issue of sluggishness.
If you can go to the BIOS then you can self-diagnose with the DELL BIOS scanner which scans each and every component and gives the root cause of the problem.(That's what the IT Guys in my company uses as we have DELL machines everywhere).
Probably the root cause of the failing HDD sector. Run the CystalDisk Info tool and check the HDD health.
