Thanks,
Looks like you can still activate by phone

Windows 10

To start Product Activation:
Go to Start, then select Settings, choose Update & security, and then select Activation.
If your device is not activated, the Activate by phone option will be available.

If they are never going online though, don't you have an old XP laptop you are not using?

Remember to explain backups
