Had sound until computer shop did restore

HI THERE I'M IN NEED OF ANY KIND OF INFORMATION GOING CRAZY!!! WHERE DO I EVEN START, MY COMPUTER WAS ALL AROUND JUST FINE EXCEPT FOR ONE ISSUE IT KEPT INTERRUPTING ME WHILE I WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF THINGS SAYING (WINDOWS IS NOT ACTIVATED)....!!!IT WOULD NOT LET ME ACTIVATE IT SO I TOOK IT TO A COMPUTER SHOP TO HAVE THEM LOOK AT IT AND THEY DID A RESTORE AND THEN ALL OF THE SUDDEN IT SHOWED THAT IT WAS ACTIVATED...I ASKED WHY ALL THE SUDDEN NOW? I WAS TOLD THAT IT MIGHT HAVE BEEN FROM THE ANTIVIRUS THAT I HAVE PURCHASED WHICH ORIGINALLY CAME WITH NORTON,BUT THAT SUBSCRIPTION WAS A FREE TRIAL THAT CAME WITH MY COMPUTER ONLY FOR 60 DAYS. SO BOUGHT SYSTEM MECHANIC PRO AND PUT IT ON REALIZING THAT THAT'S BEEN THE PROBLEM ALL ALONG SHOULD HAVE STUCK WITH THE ONE THAT CAME WITH THE BRAND NEW COMPUTER!! ANYWAY AFTER THE RESTORE I GOT THE COMPUTER HOME AND FOUND OUT THAT I NO LONGER HAVE HEADPHONE SOUND OR SPEAKER SOUND BUT THE SOUND WORKS THROUGH THE HDMI CABLE, WHICH BEFORE I TOOK IT OVER EVERYTHING WAS WORKING JUST FINE!! (EXCEPT THE ANNOYING WINDOWS ISN'T ACTIVATED ISSUE) AND ALSO AT THE TIME I HAD AN INSTALLED GRAPHIC CARD DONE FROM THE SAME COMPUTER SHOP (ZOTAC GEFORCE-GT-520 ) SO THAT I COULD PLAY BETTER GAMES AND AFTER THE RESTORE I LOST THE CONTROL PANEL FOR THAT AND ALL THE DRIVER THOSE CARD'S ARE NO LONGER EVEN INSTALLED SO I'M SIMPLY TRYING TO GET THE ONBOARD AUDIO AND USING THE ONBOARD GRAPHICS WHICH ARE FINE... IT'S JUST THIS AUDIO THING THAT'S MAKING ME SOMEONE PLEASE HELP SINCERELY

So you bought a computer at a grocery store ? That's what they are basically , remember TV series "The Waltons" Staring Ron Howard ? It's about them starting grocery business.
