    Dear @Rita Rita,

    Welcome to Microsoft Q&A Forum!

    The 404 error you encountered may be caused by a small typo in the URL. Even a minor difference, such as a missing character or incorrect capitalization which can prevent the page from loading correctly. Kindly try using this link to see if you can access it: https://signup.microsoft.com/get-started/setupKey

    Also, before you use that link, please kindly combine with the methods in the answer of Mr. Stefan Blom to clear cache of the browsers and try incognito mode.
    In my environment, the link above displayed:

    Besides that, if the issue still persists, you can provide me a screenshot of the error for further assistance.

    Sometimes you have to start an in private (incognito) browser window for the redemption. Press Ctrl+Shift+N in Microsoft Edge or Google Chrome. (On a Mac, use Command+Shift+N instead.)
