Windows 10: I think i accidently wasted my product key

I was going to install Windows 11 on my previous Linux pc, and i used the product kry at installation, but realized i forgot something on my Linux drive and i shut down the installation to put the thing in my Linux drive to my hard drive. Then i went back to installing from the beginning and now it says Windows isnt activated and the key has been already used. What do i do?

Product key

Hello.

Around 3 years ago I bought physical Windows 10 copy and by accident scratched off my product key, at that moment didn't realy cared about it. Recently decided to do something about it, got bored of that activate windows sign. Now I am not sure if it is
possible to get ruined product key back or get new one . Any suggestions? Tried Microsoft support, but somehow this issue isn't there.

Thanks.
