OK. I am not saying I do not believe you, please note. I am saying I
cannot imagine how or why this might occur, which means I can't really
suggest where to start troubleshooting it.

They *announced* that it had been shut down. Actually, it still works
fine, and always has and probably always will.

Also, you can install a new clean copy of Win10 using a product
licence key from Win7, 8, or 8.1.

It doesn't really matter. So long as it's a valid key, Produkey will
tell you what it is and you can use it to reinstall. Produkey itself
is freeware without ads or anything else.

OK. I use that myself sometimes but I actually _pay_ Google for its
services ( :-( ) so there's no point avoiding it.

No problem. It's what we are here for.
