I need to reinstall Windows 10 on my laptop, however I don't have the windows product key (it was on the bottom bit sadly most of it got scraped off.) If in download the iso files and reinstall it will I have to enter the product key

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.
