Windows 10: I am not able to activate windows even after entering my product key

I entered my product key, but the message says, "Windows cannot activate with this key. Please enter a new key or go to settings."

Enter a Product key

Hi MohammadMoharram,

Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



To get clarity on this issue and assist you with appropriate troubleshooting steps, kindly reply with the answers to the questions below.

1. What is the version of Windows installed on your PC, is that Windows 10 Home or Pro?
2. Are you receiving any error message, when you are trying to activate your Windows 10?
3. Have you purchased the product key for Windows 10 while purchasing the laptop?
4. How did you run windows recovery?

However, I suggest you to refer this thread article on
using the Activation troubleshooter and
Activation in Windows 10, and check if that helps.



I look forward to hearing from you soon.

Regards,

Clean install Windows 10: The product key entered does not match any of the windows images available for installation. Enter a different product key

Thank you for the response.

My Windows 10 is activated.

The problem is when I tried to clean install, I got error message "The product key entered does not match any of the windows images available for installation. Enter a different product key".

I have followed the third link you gave me above which is the most similar to my issue.

There, Vinod Archak suggests:

• Make sure your PC is activated by going to the Settings >> Update & Security >> Activation.
  
  If the activation has not completed, you can click the Activate Now button to complete the activation process.
• Create your installation media for the appropriate edition of Windows 10 by clicking here.
• Skip entering the product key during Windows 10 Setup. Windows 10 will activate online automatically on such devices. The skip option is only available when booting from media and launching Windows 10 setup.

I have did the suggestions #1 and #2. But before "entering product key" page appear, I was got the error message.
