Windows 10: Windows 10 retail usb flash drive. Manufacturer numbers meaning?

Hello.

I want to buy a USB box version of Windows 10 Home 64 bit and confused with these numbers I see: KW9-00500, KW9-001...

Different retailers have different manufacturer numbers listed on their products and I can not find any explanation of what does all of these means to me.


Thanks a lot in advance and sorry if I missed something obvious.

:)

Windows 10 Retail USB Drive

That is weird, that you can't change the drive letter. Did it come with a printed license key? I would say you have two options:

1. If it came with a printed license key, just make your own USB with the Windows Media Creation Tool and enter the retail key when asked for it when you install from the USB that you made.

2. If it did not come with a printed key - install Windows 10 from the purchased USB. Use a product key sniffer (such as produkey or Belarc Advisor) to get the Windows 10 key (which should be a unique one for a retail version). Then go back to step 1, if still desired.

 

Installing windows off of a USB stick

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