Which copy to Install on Win7

I have a boxed set of MS Home/Student. I only need Word , Note and Excel.
My new computer comes with a full set of Office installed but not activated
until use. Should I install from disks my copies of Word, Note and Excel
then proceed with the Key that came with the box or activate what is on the
computer and use that same key that came with my box? Will installing my
copies "overwrite" those on the new computer? Thanks

Uninstall the Free Trial Version, reboot, then Install the boxed set that
you have using the Product Key on the set.
