Reset My Computer And Lost Access to Windows
So i recently pulled my old computer out of storage. It hadn't been used since 2017. I decided to do a hard reset, and fully wipe the thing to be able to get a fresh start now that i'm older. (And it ran really slow) I did have issues, I ran into the 'Insert Media' thing, and had to install windows to my usb to fix the problem. I was able to fix it and reset the computer properly. Now comes the newest problem. Now it's telling me I need to activate Windows. I don't have a product key anymore apparently and i'm not sure what to do. I signed in to microsoft using the same email that i originally used, and windows was working this morning before the reset. It has 8.1 installed on it currently. I could really use some help, as I can't really afford to buy a new product key right now. (And I don't really think I should have to?)

I Lost My Windows 10 Product Key After Windows 10 Reinstallation
When I first bought my laptop and opened it, the Windows 10 product key was automatically activated. I am using my computer for almost 2 years now and never encountered a problem about this. Disk Drive D being sometimes missing on my computer led me to reset my laptop. After choosing the first option which enables me to Factory Reset my laptop but keep my personal files, my Windows 10 is still activated. This reset had solved my problem of Disk Drive D sometimes disappearing. But another problem arose. I can't install Office 365 properly now, it always gives this ERROR CODE 30015-11 (3221225506). I did what I could do to uninstall it properly and install it again but to no avail. I resetted my laptop once more choosing the second option of erasing everything on my computer. But I was stuck at the "hi there" part for a couple of hours (my laptop keeps restarting and going through this "hi there" loop) until I finally found a solution and enables to get past that loop by writing something on the command prompt. In the desktop, I noticed a "Windows 10 Home" word written below my screen at the right side. I checked the settings and I saw that my Windows 10 product key is gone. I tried installing Office 365 once more but it still went through that error. *Sigh*... The reset was supposed to be a way to solve my problem but it just added more. By the way, the second reset which will delete all of my files did not work. My personal files are still in there. Any help would be appreciated. I hope I can still use my lost Product Key.
