  1. Can I just use one USB to install new windows with product key?


    I installed my PC with a free Windows 10 Trial, but I’d like to purchase a product key. Do I need another new USB or can I use the same one that installed the free version. I’m not sure if I’ll be kicked out from the software for erasing the data of the original USB containing the trail.

    Installing windows off of a USB stick

    Step By Step from vista:
    From admin cmd prompt

    1. diskpart
    1a. list disk
    2. select disk 1 (replace 1 with your usb drive)
    3. clean
    4. create partition primary
    5. select partition 1 (replace 1 with your usb drive)
    6. active
    7. format fs=fat32
    8. assign
    9. exit

    Copy Windows Vista's DVD ROM content to the Flash Drive

    xcopy d:\*.* /s/e/f e:\ (d being your vista cd and e being your usb stick)

    And that's it, boot off your usb disk
