Edit out the Product Key info

Hi,

Enough of the Product key is hashed out automatically by MGADIAG that it doesn't represent a risk to the OP, and can be very valuable in diagnosing validation issues. I recommend posting the un-edited version of MGADIAG.

Late to the party again
I've had a look at the errors in eventvwr - and htere are a number of points for concern
1) The Software Protection Service, and Activation are getting a number of 'access denied' errors
2) the file system is corrupt - you need first off to run a CHKDSK C: /R at boot, ans see if the errors are from bad clusters. If so, then the hard drive is supect, and should be properly tested with the manufactuerer's test utility.

Until the system is properly backed up to external media, I would refrain from using it much - and only then do the HD tests.
