That is odd.
The product key for Windows 10 is suppose to be embedded on the motherboard.
Your service code shows that the laptop is under warranty until December 2019.
You should reach out to the seller and ask about the history of this laptop.

I downloaded Windows directly from Dell with my service tag. When I ran RWEverything, I do not see MSDM tab on the ACPI tables. I got this laptop direct from dell.

I wonder if Dell changed out the motherboard.
