Re using windows 10

[yeetyeetyeeter]

i have a usb with a windows 10 installation on it and want to use that usb to also install windows on my little brothers new pc.

can i do that if i get a new key for the same exact windows edition and use the usb + that key

or do i need to completely reinstall it on the drive

 

thanks,

stan

download windows media creater and create a USB drive to install windows 10. 

due to SSID and different hardwarespec's i would reinstall every time to get a stabile result.

You can use the same installation media as many times as you want. You'll need a new key for each activation, but you don't need to reinstall the installation files on the USB.

I think you misunderstood OP's question. 

 

He already has a bootable Windows 10 installer. He just wants to know if he can install Windows on multiple PCs using the same installation media. No need to re-create the installation media each time. 

 

Also, I fail to see how an SSID is related to a Windows install. I'm not familiar with the term SSID outside of anything but wireless networking.
