    Motherboard product key does not match the one in settings?


    Hi all, I've been using a Cube Mix Plus tablet that I bought new about a year ago, somehow I've failed to spot until now that the copy of Windows 10 installed on it is not activated.
    Troubleshoot tells me its "found a Windows 10 Home Digital Licence for this device running Windows 10 Pro". I've no idea if it's always been like that, I certainly haven't upgraded to Pro myself.
    Anyway I thought as step one I'd try to find the whole product key that's installed on it, which I did via the command prompt. But the last 5 characters don't match the last 5 that are displayed in Settings>Update & Security>Activation.
    Any idea why that would be? I'm not hugely conversant with this stuff so apologies if I'm being a dumbass.
    FWIW there's an error code too, 0x8007232B. Any assistance much appreciated. Thanks!

    :)

    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.
