To activate the win7x32 I've downloaded

I original posted this in the technet forum but I think it should have been posted here because I don't have an answer.  I'm not a computer programmer, and I think that it is a forum appropriate for me.

 

I have a Dell Latitude c840 with XP and have maxed out with SSD, wifi-N, 2 GB, etc. It works quite well and I went to Dell and downloaded their win7x32 "reinstall the OS. This software is for owners of Dell with subsequent model systems in need of a replacement for DVD. Of course, this does not apply to me as the C840 is pre-vista, but I have burned DVD and install Dell win7x32.  Is installed on the partition (I did not upgrade) just fine and he found Center Update dell, chipset device drivers, etc., for the C840 without having to download from the Ms.

It's been 2 days and all drivers are working fine and the laptop seems to work perfectly.  I want to activate it.  Can I buy an edition Home premium win7x32... and simply enter the key?  I can do an "upgrade to ultimate' or 'pro '?  How can I go on the activation of it that I installed myself?

Thanks for the research!
