How can I install Windows 7 with the product key only?

A while ago I received the Windows 7 Home Premium Upgrade for HP. I opted out of doing a clean install and upgraded instead. However, my computer is now glitching constantly, and I want to do a clean install over my upgraded version of Windows 7.

I’ve lost the upgrade disk, but I still have the disk envelope which has a product key on the back. Is there a way to launch the Windows 7 installation process without a disk? If so, how?

Thank you!
