I got a message on windows update saying "reinstall your current version of windows to repair system files and components", so I did it but now i can't activate windows and I got the error 0xC004F213. I tried the troubleshoot option in the settings but it didn't worked.
Please help me !

1
Where did you get your Windows licence was that pre-installed on the PC or did you purchase a full retail Windows licence from Microsoft or from a 3rd party retailer?
Or is your Windows licence based on a previous Windows 7 or 8 licence?
2
Click your Start Button, type cmd then right click Command Prompt and choose 'Run as Administrator'
Run or paste this command and hit Enter:
slmgr.vbs /dlv
Please post a screenshot of the resulting dialog
Idk where did I get my license (a friend did it for me) but it wasn't from based on a previous version, I think it was from a 3rd party retailer ?
Thank you for the screenshot.
Your screenshot indicates the problem is that is a volume (MAK) Windows licence, that type of licence is used by large organizations, it is not a correct consumer Windows licence, you will not be able to reactivate that type of Windows licence.
The best option is to ask your friend where he purchased the licence, then contact the retailer to get a correct Windows licence if that is not possible, you will need to purchase a new Windows licence.
Glad to help!
