Hello mate.
Have a look through the information in this tutorial at the link below for some ideas and be sure to post back with any further questions you may have and to keep us informed.
So if i used the product key on another pc it wouldn't work?
Each "OEM" COA activation key it forever tied to a specific Motherboard.

Just to confirm the COA key is the machines product key?
So do I have to install 32bit home premium
The correct term is the Product Key.
It is found on the Certificate Of Authenticity (COA) sticker.
I am reasonably sure you can install and activate either 32 or 64, but you need to confirm your hardware will support 64 bit.
The Product Key will apply to only one "version"--e.g. Home Premium, Professional, whatever.
<pedant mode ON>
Version is Windows 98, Windows XP, Windows 7 etc
Edition is Home Basic, Home Premium, Ultimate, etc.
COA Key is an accepted abbreviation for the 'Product Key printed on the MicrosoftCertificate of Authority attached to the sytem under consideration'
<pedant mode OFF>
