    Possibly. It depends on where you purchased the OEM disc and if it is valid. If you have a problem you will be asked to download, run and post the results of MGADiag.exe.

    So long as the OEM package you have is both new and genuine, there should be no problem with doing as you suggest - make sure that the edition you downloaded/installed is the same as the packeage, though
