  1. Does my windows licence remain if I reinstall using bootable USB?


    I have somehow messed my windows partition and so I need to reinstall the windows. So if I reinstall the windows by creating a bootable pendrive then would I have to provide my licence key? I can access the windows partition but cannot boot into it because I have accidentally formatted EFI partition. So is there any way I can get my windows activation key?

    Multi-bootable USB

    Hey guys from TPU, couldn't find any specific thread pertaining to the question asked on title. As mentioned, I'm trying to create a bootable USB, but with many specifics boots available.

    I've been trying to create one with multiple boot device including one that enables me to run Windows 10 directly on the USB Thumb Drive but to no avail.

    The list of bootable images i'm trying to create are

    1. Windows 10 (A full OS running from thumb drive)
    2. Windows 10 ISO (Bootable disk image for fresh install)
    3. MemTest86+

    Have tried YUMI or UUI from the website USB PenDrive Linux but as this is my first time, i don't know how am i screwing up or am doing it right.. Anyone got a rough idea on a step by step guide? Thanks!
