    I had windows 7 on my laptop and then upgraded to 10 recently, now my harddrive is broken and need a new one. Is it possible to use my windows 7 product key to clean install windows 10

    Not directly... You would have to put 7 on the HDD with the 7 key and upgrade again...

    Your license for 10 is in the cloud associated with your Microsoft Account. Check this helpful blog article: How to re-activate Windows 10 after a hardware change | Windows Central
