Just type your key into your current install. Clean install is much prefered by microsoft and us.

"Retail" is printed to a disc and put in a box, then it's placed on a shelf and sold in a store.
If you purchase the upgrade discs, they'll need to see an activated/genuine prior Windows installation to go in in the first place. Otherwise there's no difference on the software level.
