If you do not have an OEM version, when you are ready just install. Give your key after installation, not during. Most drivers etc, will be already installed.
With an OEM it can only be used on one machine With upgrade only one machine at a time |

Agreed you must do a clean. But when asked for your key, do not give it. After you are installed, give the number, then. You may have to phone activate, or even speak to a tech, but you are within the rules. There will be no problem.
