Need a confirmed answer

If I buy an upgrade copy of win7

1. Does it come with a valid key
2. Will this key allow me to install a fresh clean copy of win7 onto a brand new HDD/SSD with no problems of it not having windows on before.
3. Will it validate with no problems so I can game in piece

So what you are saying is that I cannot just buy the upgrade a new hard drive and install as usual assuming that the upgrade thinks I have no windows on the hard drive. I have a winxp key somewhere. I've seen some stories of people just using the upgrade as a normal full install copy
