    Will a windows ISO install USB ever need updating?


    I have a USB that I use all the time for Windows installs. I was wondering whether it will ever need updating? As in, wiping it, re-downloading the media creation tool, mounting it etc.

    I made the install USB a few months back and have used it on several builds. I would presume that if anything needed updating, that once connected to the internet on the install it would do it automatically? And so there be no need to update the flash drive? Unsure though...

    Thanks!

    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
