Try this:
Open a run command and type in:

%systemroot%\system32\oobe\msoobe.exe /a click [OK], does it represent
you with the Activation wizard?

If the command didn't help try to repair the ctivation wizard, it may
corrupt or damaged by doing the seteps on the link below.

When you try to activate after Reinstallation, and get a failure, take the
Phone option to do it.
