Can I reinstall genuine Windows from an Internet installer on my laptop, have the product key detected automatically, recreate recovery later, and delete all HDD partitions?

Yes: you can download the installer, choose “I don’t have a product key” during setup, and the system should activate automatically if the key is stored in the laptop’s BIOS/UEFI [#17794508] [#17794804] For Windows 7, the key is required unless you use the matching recovery media for that model; for Windows 8/10, the key is usually not on a sticker and is read automatically from UEFI [#17794804] You can format and delete all partitions on the HDD during installation [#17794508] [#17794804] If you need files from the disk first, copy them elsewhere or try Safe Mode, or use the installer’s repair option before reinstalling [#17794508] [#17794585] After installing Windows, you can create recovery media again from the installed system if you want to [#17796949]

    I have a one-year laptop with genuine Windows. Unfortunately, the system broke down and it is not even able to restore recovery. Can I download the installer from the Internet and reinstall the system? Will he then automatically read the key (it is nowhere on the laptop). Can I create a recovery later? Can I delete all partitions from HDD?

    Unfortunately, I can't remove the disk because the flap is stuck. I don't know if I will void my warranty.

    What system are we talking about?
    With a one-year laptop, it's probably Windows 10, but I will give you the rules (?) For its predecessors:
    For Windows 7, the key will be required.
    Without it, only the version for the same model (recovery media) could be installed (activated).
    In the case of Windows 8, there is probably no sticker, and in the case of Windows 10, it is definitely not.
    In such situations, the key is permanently stored in the BIOS (UEFI) and downloaded automatically during installation.

    The "factory" partitions can be removed and set up either relying on the installer or at your discretion.

    And when I install the system, will I be able to create a new recovery?

    If you insist and the option available from the level of the installed system will not be enough for you, then yes. You will be able to create recovery.

    PS
    On "And how to do it?" the answer is: browse through the forum and take over the solutions found for your own purposes.

    I installed the system on a 500GB HDD, and is there sometimes no 120GB Goodram SSD drive here?

The discussion revolves around reinstalling genuine Windows on a one-year-old laptop that has encountered system failure. Users confirm that it is possible to download the Windows installer and proceed with installation by selecting "I don't have a product key," as the activation key is stored in the BIOS/UEFI for Windows 10. Participants suggest that all HDD partitions can be deleted during installation, and a new recovery partition can be created afterward. There are also mentions of difficulties accessing the HDD due to a stuck flap and the potential impact on warranty. Additionally, a user inquires about the presence of a Goodram SSD in their setup, indicating a mix-up during installation that was later corrected.
