Resetting shouldn't change anything re: activation.

A clean install would prompt you to enter a key, but you can skip that using the "I don't have a key" option, and once you're online and it can communicate with MS's servers, it'll activate.

Ensure you're using the same version of Windows (ie Home) as that's what your key is for - if you install Pro (for example), it won't activate.
It'll active whether you install x86 or x64...... but 99% of the time, you want x64.

Barty right, reset doesn't go anywhere near activation, it leaves that stage out of the install since it only touches C drive and I assume activation info held elsewhere on another partition.
