You can no longer activate new Windows 11 builds with Windows 7 or 8 keys; maybe last chance to activate using Windows 7 or 8 keys, for 22H2.

I reused a Win10 Pro key from a mini PC from 2015 onto a brand new build and it worked right away. Not sure what the difference is with your situation. Maybe it was your license type?

It was the license that came on an Acer laptop. Completely non transferable per Microsoft.

Laptop licences are linked to the hardware. You technically do not have a key to begin with.
