Windows 10: Windows 10 Product Key's

So I have an Acer laptop that came with Windows 10 Home. My question is, if I write down the OEM product key that came with my laptop and then do a clean installation of Windows 10, can I put the OEM product key back into my laptop and have it work as Windows 10 Home with all the special features?

Thanks but I don't want to do any decrypting. I want to download a Win 10 ISO from Microsoft and install it using my Win 8 key. No other steps required. Is that possible?
