Hello Mervzter,

Yes, you will be able to use your product key number on the COA sticker to do a clean install with. :)

Clean Reinstall - Factory OEM Windows 7

thank you very much for the information, this is the thing worried me since the hp support said the product key in my laptop which is OEM key cant use if im going to install another OS image of the same version than the recovery image i have, since the key is embedded on the motherboard.. any explanation about thiS?

They may be confused by the default OEM key, and the key underneath your laptop. As long as you activate the correct Windows 7 version using the key underneath the laptop, you won't have any issues.

thank you, i will proceed and i will let you know if my problem solve.

EDIT : I see you edited your reply ... I thought you were having activation issues??

yea i did, sorry about that..
what happen is i register online my product key before the installation really complete which i realize i haven't configure my internet connection yet so i end up with invalid product key which is giving me the option to register it by phone.. so i just input(change the product key) the key again with internet connection.

You're most welcome Mervzter. Glad we could help. :)

i just want to share this error i encounter, i'm not sure if you guys done the way i solve it but it works...

"A required CD/DVD driver device driver is missing. If you have a driver floppy disk, CD, DVD, or USB flash drive, please insert it now."

when the error pops up i just close the window and back to "INSTALL NOW" window and i remove the usb flash drive and insert it to the other usb port and it works...

CREDIT: i just read it on someone commenting on youtube video, cheers! thanks guys i learned a lot from this..
