Basically my pc came with windows 8 prebuilt.

Would I have to buy a windows 8 cd?
I heard I can clone my drive but its best to get a fresh installation so with that in mind, can I just redownload a windows 8 iso or something and use my product id shown in System to activate it or will that not work?
 
Solution
yeah you can get windows 8 iso file and download it to a usb thumb drive (just make sure the usb is bootable) then just make sure you have your product key.
