    How do I reinstall Windows 10 Home on Asus laptop X551M

    I'm working on an 11-year-old Asus laptop model X551M. It runs Windows 10 Home; does not qualify for Win11. I'd like to take it back to factory settings; dump everything. I need to know what trouble I might encounter regarding the product key.
