Hey everyone! I just finished building my new PC and I'm trying to install Windows. I created a bootable USB with the installation media, and when I plugged it in, my PC booted right to the installation screen. I selected my language and chose the option 'I don't have a product key,' thinking it would work without one. However, I hit a snag when the next screen said, 'the product key is invalid.' I was left with only the option to close, which rebooted my PC, and now I'm stuck in a loop. I'm really struggling here and can't seem to find any information on this particular issue. Any tips or advice would be greatly appreciated!

It might be worth trying a different ISO file for the installation media or recreating the USB drive, just to rule out any corruption in the files. Sometimes that can mess with the installation process. Good luck!
You should definitely use a valid license key when going through installation. Without it, the process won't go through properly. If you don’t have a key, consider getting one or trying an activation via phone after installation for a temporary fix.
