PS C:\WINDOWS\system32> ssh osmc@192.168.1.24

When you had previously connected to your 4K Windows stored a security key and stored that with the IP address in that file it mentions in the message. Since that IP address is now a different machine the key doesn’t match so it is trying to protect you. Just edit that file and remove the line with that IP address in it and when you try to ssh into your Vero V again it will ask if you want to store the key again.
