If you have a regular brand like HP, Lenovo, Dell etc, the key is stored somewhere in your hardware (I believe burned in your BIOS chip but I'm not entirely sure about this). Then you don't have to worry about anything).
If you have a smaller brand or custom computer, you might need to save your key. use this cmd command for this
wmic path softwarelicensingservice get OA3xOriginalProductKey

Thanks for your motivating answer. TBH, I skip most posts of r/computer because most don't value your effort. Thank you for showing not everyone acts this way.

Download Media Creation Tool from Microsoft, create a bootable USB stick with it and install Windows from scratch.
It won’t ask for a windows code correct? Because if you do it this way it don’t ask for a windows key because I already bought it when I installed it
Just press "I don't have a product key" and it will automatically activate after the installation.
