Yes, you need the product key 99% of the time, unless your BIOS automatically does it, I forget what that is called

You could use the built in windows 10 reset function, might solve your issue

Just click 'I don't have this" when installing through the ISO.

If the laptop has been upgraded to 10 and online it should automatically reactivate itself after you reinstall windows and go online again.

I am a paid professional, but only when I am at work...and getting paid.

Just copy it from system info screen (win + x, then 'System').

Sadly this sin't an option. It won't boot, with the only otion being reinstalling Windows, although according to the toehr people I should be fine
