yea you can reuse your key in the same pc. windows should activate as long as there are no hardware changes in the pc. just boot to the USB and start windows setup, at the 'select disk' stage or something like that, delete all the partitions listed. should be good enough, unless you wanna do a low level format which will take much more hours. better yet, keep the hdd.
