Use Win 8 ISO from another system upgrade to clean install new XPS 8500?

Can I use the Win 8 ISO from another system upgrade to do a clean install of my new XPS 8500?  I think my XPS 8500 already has the win 8 key in BIOS.

 Looking to install Win 8 on another smaller drive in my XPS 8500.

Thanks.

Hi jkwi99,

It should not ask for the product key if you install it from OEM disk however, I am not sure if it would ask for the product key when installed from any other iso as I have not tried it personally.
