Windows 7: create virtual machine with product key from physical machine.

Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit
 
 
create virtual machine with product key from physical machine.

Hello,

I have a Dell XPS desktop computer with Windows 7. On the top of this desktop is a Microsoft Windows product key labeled for Windows 7 with a bunch of numbers.

I would like to use this Dell XPS desktop with something other than, Windows 7.

Could I install Linux on this Dell XPS and then, from my Windows 7 DVD which came from Dell, install Windows 7 as a virtual machine? To activate it, can I use the Microsoft Windows 7 Product Key on the label of this desktop?

Thank you.
