Default XP oem version

I built my computer recently and used a disc my buddy had left to install XP, not a genuine key I knew at the time, anyway. Someone in my area is selling a XP pro OEM version, can i just buy this and apply the key, or would I have to do a fresh install? thank sin advance.

You can just apply the key. If it asks for reactivation, just call them the number and you'll get a machine that guides you though. It's really easy and takes less than 5 min.
