I want to do clean install with OEM disc - will it work with same product ID

Which product key?
The key for the OEM installed version may not be the same as the key
shown on the case sticker. The OEM restore disk may not need a key,
have it's own key, or use the key on the case.
(Depends on how the OEM did things.)

Sometimes, the OEM installed version was a "generic" build version used
by the OEM. The sticker may have a different key to be used with a user
reinstall.
 
I used the Product Key on the box and it worked first time I tried - but
wanted to re-istall it again but wouldn't accept the Product key so I have
left it
