Can't install Office Home & Student over OEM trial

[John from MPLS]

Didn't see this exact question in other threads. I replace crashed PC with
new HP Media Center(Vista) machine with trail version of Office installed.
Purchased 2007 Office H&S in a box (Word, Excel, PPT, OneNote?).
It won't install. Doesn't like the product key on box.
Is it safe to uninstall the OEM-provided trial version and then install
the boxed sw?
If so, any problems to look out for?
Thanks.

We recommend that you uninstall the trial version first then install the
retail version.

Absolutely, uninstall the trial and install your own. If you have
additional problems, run the Windows Installer Cleanup Utility to remove
references to Office in the registry, then install your purchased version.
