FYI: if you intend to reinstall Windows using media, then as long as the same version/type of Windows is reinstalled, you do not need the product key. If you do not have the media, it can be downloaded using the Media Creation tool.  It will ask if you have a key but just click on "skip" and it will be activated once it connects to the internet as Microsoft used a digital key.
