When I tried to enter that, Windows told me that Windows Script Host access is disabled in my machine. Do you know how to fix that?

Hello MDTechVideos,
I have already done all the steps you showed in the video without any problems, but when I finished restarting my laptop it still says that I still need to activate my product key. Though it did remove the watermark (there used to be a watermark on the right bottom side of the screen saying something like "Windows License Expired, Activate Windows Product Key") but when I go to settings it still says that I need to activate it. Same goes to Microsoft Word, Excel and PP (in the title thingy it says something like Document1- Product Activation Failed or something like that) and I am wondering if I had done something wrong that caused my activation attempt to fail? Looking forward to your reply, and thanks for reading.
