Your Lenovo G560 has been acting very sluggish over the years, and you're considering a full reset now. Each time you try to reset, it halts mid-process and says no changes were made.

Yes, you can reinstall Windows by making a bootable USB or DVD and installing it again.

I attempted that as well, but I don’t have the license key and I’m uncertain about doing it without it.

You don't have to provide any information. The code is linked to your mobile device. Avoid entering it, and you should be okay. Use your MS account to save the key.

Remove the SATA drive and connect another PC to execute a "clean" operation using DiskPart. Follow the instructions provided by @dexxterlab97.

No, it's not required if you follow what Dexter advised.

It should work fine. I've previously reinstalled Windows 10 cleanly. Be sure to log in with an MS account so your credentials are stored.
