I kind had a similar experience, i tried to get clean windows install cd instead using recovery cd, because recovery cd coming with tons of bloatware slowing down extremely. First i called microsoft support, they sent me to manufacturer, and manufacturer said how i need to use recovery cd(despite saying how i have them already and dont want them), so had to get clean cd from somewhere else, used activation key which i had on my laptop and it worked fine. But in shortly, microsoft is joke of company.
