Hi,
Firstly, you could check if the Windows 10 key is suitable for your system. For example, your system is Win10 Pro, your Win10 key is pro key.
If the key is OK, try to use the option (Change product key in Settings) in the link below:
Activate Windows 10

Hope this helps and please help to accept as Answer if the response is useful.
Best Regards,
Carl
