Hi,

No. The product key is embedded in the firmware of the machine. So you can reset or even reinstall Windows on the machine and once installed and connected online the OS will automatically activate.

You can create a USB drive directly from Microsoft and then use the drive to perform a clean install

Hope it helps,
