You don't need any key if it's already running windows 10.

1) no key needed if win 10 is already installed

2) only in specific situations and if you have more than 4 gb of ram.

3) no, the 32 bit version is smaller and recommended for such a small hard drive.

 

 

lastly, to actually re-install, there is a feature within the settings app allowing you to refresh your pc, with a choice of keeping personal files, or keeping nothing.

When in doubt, re-format.

This is among the few times you should go for 32bit. Its optimized for less RAM.
