Windows 10: Will I lose my product key if I change drives?

Hey guys! I finished building my pc yesterday and I installed windows via usb onto my nvme samsung 970 evo with the free Windows 10 Edu product key given to me from my college. After trying everything I could find, my boot up time was still 30 seconds long. I plan to get a 970 evo plus hoping it will be much faster. If I wipe my 970 evo, will I be able to reuse my product key on the 970 evo plus? If so, how would I go about wiping the 970 evo? Thank you!

:)

Why was I not asked for a product key when upgrading to Win 10?

According to your spec you have Win 10 Pro, but perhaps that doesn't reflect your PC.

You haven't stated which edition of Win 10 you have on this machine, nor what your Win 10 key is for.

For example, if you already have Win 10 Pro and your key is Win 10 Home, that would be a retrograde step.
