    I'm using Windows Vista Home Premium 32-bit Edition.

    After opening the Control Panel, then double-clicking on System, and then scrolling all the way to the bottom, a product key is stated there (it's called a "Product ID"). Is this the product key I will use if I perform a clean install of Vista on my notebook?

    The product key should be on your computer somewhere. Usually on the bottom of the laptop, sometimes if you remove the battery.
