    I don't include an OS by default as a lot of people have them already.

    Not as far as I'm aware, you will be given a product ID on screen, entering that using your phone keypad will then give you a new CD key to enter.

    If your old computer has an OEM license (which a Dell does), then you will have to purchase a new license. If you have a custom built computer that has a retail license, then you can transfer the license from the old computer to the new computer.
