I have bought this computer online and it seems to be unused. It has no Win 10 Home Product key or sticker. Should it have?

No it does not need any. Windows activation has come a long way since Windows 7. Your authentication credentials are stored in the BIOS Code of the laptop and will survive even a change of hard drive. So any time you wish you can download a Windows 10 reinstall disk image from Microsoft Media Creation Tool site and reinstall and it will just activate with no need to enter a Code of any kind. Enjoy.
