Do you need product key when reinstalling Windows 8.1?

You do not need it, it will auto activate for you. If not contact MS support.

I am trying to do a reset on my Windows 8.1 custom PC. I am at the phase where I have the media things downloaded on a flash drive and am nearly ready to go. However, I am confused as to whether I will need the product key or not. I have read a bunch of different articles, all of them saying different things. I don't have access to my product code, as my younger cousin peeled off the sticker and ate it when he got angry with me. Any information would be greatly appreciated!
