Where did you get your Windows licence was that pre-installed on the PC or did you purchase a full retail Windows licence from Microsoft or from a 3rd party retailer?
Or is your Windows licence based on a previous Windows 7 or 8 licence?

Download the free ShowKeyPlus app from the Microsoft Store.
On the left of that app, click 'Check Edition', then enter your product key into that app.
Please provide a screenshot of that app window and please hide your product key in the screenshot.
