Activation of Win11 Clean install with Win10 product key doesn't work

Hi,

I'm located in The Netherlands and running (licensed) Win10 Home English.

I have 2nd Hard drive on which I want to do a clean install of Win11. Just to get used to Win11 and migrate slowly, app by app, to Win11.
My PC meets all the requirements for Win11 and I had no hardware upgrade in between.

I used the MediaCreationToolW11 tool to create an USB boot drive ....2 different ones.

1. One USB boot drive for Win11 Home English
   
2. One with recommended settings for my PC (then I get Dutch, which don't want, I always use English)
   

• When I use the first one to install Win11 on my 2nd hard drive, everything goes well but I can't activate Win11 with my Win10 Activation key. Not a valid key or something went wrong. Why?
  
• When I use the second one, it looks like the installer wants to upgrade my current Win10 version. I do have a system image but still, I don't want that, it costs you always a lot of work and time to roll back.
  

Microsoft says on

Redirecting

Windows 11 is a free upgrade for Windows 10 users. As long as your current Windows 10 installation is activated, you can upgrade for free or perform a clean install using your existing Windows 10 product key. Just make sure you are installing the Windows 11 edition that currently corresponds with your Windows 10 edition.

What am I doing wrong? And...

How can I meet this requirement below is true?

Just make sure you are installing the Windows 11 edition that currently corresponds with your Windows 10 edition.

Is that possible only through using the second option of my USB boot drive?

With all respect but getting help in chats with Microsoft didn't work. Tried 2 times, but I gave up.

Please help.

New laptop. win11 activation with win10 box key.

Hi. I'm planning to buy new laptop. I have win10 box license that I used on my old laptop. Can I use that key to activate new win11 on new laptop? Will it need an activation, if the key was linked on my Microsoft account?

 

Win10 updated from Win8 - does clean install loose product key?

Use this option. With Internet connection, if asked for product key, click on "Skip This Step" or "I don't have a product Key". Windows will be activated automatically.
