If any of you would care to discuss this further, I would welcome any more educational comments before marking this post Resolved. Thank you all for your help.
The key on the sticker on the case is the actual Windows licence for that machine. The fact that a PC maker may use a different key is just a matter of their own convenience, the key on the sticker is the one you would normally use if you were given a Windows disc.
