OS reinstall
I've got a brand new Vostro 3681, and well, was not surprised that the system was full of preinstalled Dell apps I don't need (sorry Dell). I want to perform a clean W11 install, but I vaguely remember that years ago (Vista days IIRC) Dell OEM keys (or was it the other big company with a name starting on "H"?) could only activate certain OEM ISOs, not default retail ones. So I want to be sure, will I be able to activate it? RN my OS is activated with digital license, i have retrieved the OEM key just in case.

Well of course, that I know, perhaps I should've specified that I do have Win11 Pro preinstalled, and of course I'd like to install the same version. All I'm asking is: can I use ISO downloaded straight from MS servers, or do I need some specific Dell version in order for the key to work?
