I have a Lenovo laptop that had Windows 8 preinstalled on it, and I upgraded it to Windows 10 while it was free for Windows 7/8 users. I would like to format the laptop to Windows 10 so I can sell it, but I can't find a way to reinstall Windows 10 without any sort of product key. Is it possible to format my laptop to Windows 10 without a product key?

This is not related to the question this is marked a duplicate of because that question is about making a clean install of Windows 10 using the free upgrade. I am asking if, after the free upgrade, if I can clear all the files/programs/settings/etc..

You can Reset your Windows 10 installation. Check out this link - Recovery options in Windows 10 and expand the "Reset Your PC" link to see where to find the option.

Yes, you can. During Windows 10 Setup, select the “I don’t have a product key” option and continue as usual. After it is completely installed, Windows 10 will automatically restore a previous activation on the same machine. An Internet connection is required.
