Reinstalling Windows 10 without a licence key

Hi,

I have a 10 year old laptop which originally was running Windows Vista. Due to the manufacturer date of the laptop, I was entitled to the free upgrade to Windows 7, which I kept until the roll-out of the Windows 10 upgrade. When my laptop upgraded to Windows
10, I did not pay for the upgrade and did not receive a licence key.

1. If I go to the Windows 10 download tool and select install with the 'keep Nothing during the upgrade' option, will I require a licence key?
   
2. Can I build the laptop from scratch if it was originally a Visa machine or will I need to step from Vista to 8.1 to 10?

Regards

Keith

Licence Key

I bought this laptop from a shop with Windows 10 already entered plus the Licence Key I was not informed that I would have to renew it and I have never had to renew a licence key on any of my past laptops. Where do I find the licence key number as the seller
has gone out of business and has left me no information about the installation he used or a key No.

It is a Microsoft Windows 10, Home 64 bit and I have the product Number and an activation Number. If any one can help would be much obliged.
