Activation Problem

How would I go about an online activation attempt?

You can try the automatic online activation again by opening an elevated ("run as administrator") command prompt and entering:

slmgr /ato

Also, try slmgr /dlv and post those results as well.

You have Windows 10 Home installed. That's your problem. You originally upgraded from Windows 7 Pro.

Go to Settings - Update and Security - Activation - Change Product Key.

Enter the Windows 7 Pro generic product key:

Then, if you have to, try slmgr /ato again.
