Windows 10: "We couldn't verify the product key. Please check your installation media." Error occurring...

Hello,


I have created a bootable USB drive for Windows using the Windows Media Creation Tool (ISO download) + writing the ISO to the USB drive using Rufus. I'm trying to install Windows on a brand new SSD that I have, and then wipe my HDD that currently has Windows on it.


I've created a bootable USB drive in the same way before (like just a month ago), and it worked like a charm. I can boot from the USB drive, but when I get to entering my product key, it's giving me this error.





Since I get this error, I decided to try to see if I could just activate Windows after the install. But when I click "I don't have a product key", I select Windows 10 Home, and then I get this error...





Any help is appreciated!

:)

"We couldn't verify the product key. Please check your installation media"

I was able to install Windows 10 Pro the first time using the Windows.iso and mounting the DVD drive as detailed in the solution to your problem. However I had to have a replacement Dell laptop from Dell under warranty because of recurring problems. On
the new laptop, I have tried to install Window 10 Pro (using the original Windows 10 Pro USB installation product key with the Windows.iso download) on a new Hyper-V VM but I now get the usual error "We couldn't verify the product key. Please check your installation
media". I can understand that the device details are now different and I assume that the product key must be linked to a particular device but there must be some way round this as it must occur all too often.

 

Product key not verified

Hi everyone,

I just finished build my own pc and and everything seemed to work fine. Until starting windows 10.

I ordered Windows 10 Home through Amazon but I did not receive any CD nor USB, just the product key and upon entering it, it says:

'We couldn't verify the product key. Please check your installation media'.

As I tried to browse through the internet for some solutions, my case seems to be unique as I just have the code but no drive from Amazon.

Any suggestions? Thank you in advance.

Guillaume.
