please show Activation page of Settings.
Check if
powershell "(Get-WmiObject -query ‘select * from SoftwareLicensingService’).OA3xOriginalProductKey"
command shows your product key. Do not type the key here.

2025-12-18T20:59:50.5766667+00:00 According to your screenshot, the key should be shown and your PC is made by large brand. Is it correct?

2025-12-18T22:59:47.7166667+00:00 Your initial screenshot shows Single Language edition which should have been from the manufacturer. In case the reset has corrupted the licencing service try a recovery via Settings > System > Fix problems using windows update and select Reinstall now.
