You will need a OEM version of Home premium. Other than that, it is possible, i did it with vista.

No.
There is both OEM and Retail.
Well the ISO's around the net is.
Read more here: Retail and OEM Components
My final word is: yes you can activate a retail Windows using OEM key
but you cannot activate it using the key you read from the preinstalled OS
(actually you can, but that's hacking)
The diff between a OEM and a Retail disk is packaging, manuals,warranty...etc
I know that but those editions are normally tailored to the machine they are being installed on PLUS they have the one-use one-machine key. I never recieved an OEM disc for my custom laptop BUT I have an OEM license...
Solution? Got myself a retail image of Vista and applied my product key...
Never had any issue otherwise
