Unable to access Windows session even after reinstallation

Until now, I used my school account to access Windows, however this account has just been deleted by my school (end of study). I can no longer access my Windows session, the account no longer exists and I do not have another school/professional account. I told myself when reinstalling Windows I would be able to access a page where I could enter a Windows key, the problem is that I am only offered to connect via school/professional account. Do you know how to do it, either to correctly reinstall Windows and then enter my license key, or to skip the part where I am asked to connect to at least access a session and then be able to do something?
Thanks for your help, I really don't know what to do

    Make a clean install of windows and set up a local account for login.

    This is most likely because you are trying to login taking over the admin console session on the target machine. If you are using a 3rd party client, look for “Admin Console” or “Console Session” option and disable it. If you are using the Windows default RDP client, make sure you are not connecting using the “/admin” parameter.
