I also tried using the product key for the copy of XP that I use at work, but I think that it's SP1, so it makes sense that it doesn't work. I'm running out of ideas.

Right now in our PCWorld Software store you can buy a Windows 10 Pro license for just $69.99, 65% off its typical price of $199.99. Once installed, you can upgrade to Windows 11 Pro for free.
