You don't have to "waste" the windows license key you purchased... it allows you to do a fresh install and just use that key. You can use any windows ISO or disk to do the fresh install. In fact I think somewhere you can download the Windows 7, 8, and 8.1 ISO's directly from Microsoft.

OK great- that was exactly what I was asking. The 'backup' files they ask me to make re-installs the original state of the machine- I assume that includes crapware. Thanks.
