I don't see any expired key. Did you download AND import it?

This is the key I get:

Nowadays we advise users to not just download the ISO and verify it
using OpenPGP, but to instead use our Firefox extension, which verifies
the ISO image automatically.

On Windows, you should follow these instructions:
