Ran recovery from USB stick purchased from Toshiba and it pops up asking for activation code which Toshiba spt says I don't need. Both laptop and USB recovery disk bought new.

Well..this is Toshiba's problem to fix.
They sold you the laptop, the recovery USB, AND the OS.

But, try Microsoft anyway. They'll probably just refer you back to Tosh, but its worth a try.

Seems to popup after waking PC from sleep or hibernation - See no option to load pix so: 1st scrn “Activate Windows” “Go to PC settings to activate Windows” + button labeled “Activate Windows” 2nd scrn is normal(?) PC settings scrn with activate windows, etc. options. Takes you to Microsoft Activation site. Seems Microsoft thinks I am trying to load copy on second PC illegally? Code is out of DATE????

Well...call Toshiba to fix this.
Calling MS will probably just make you call Toshiba.

1st thing I did was call Toshiba - They had me reload the USB recovery stick again (hours wasted again) to have same problem. Definition of IDIOT is repeating something over and over and hoping for different result. Like to think I'm not an idiot?
Now the new Key screen seems to be popping up at random times.
