1. Always backup whatever you want to keep.
2. If you are doing a clean install over an already activated Windows 10, you won't need the product key.
You will be asked for a product key. Just click the SKIP option and continue.
Activation will be automatic.
I never have to format the drive. Never prevents me from reinstalling or clean installing.
So, I cannot answer that question.
