Questions about activating Windows

If I install Windows 10 for free then activate it down the road ether using a Key or a digital license would I have to uninstall and reinstall anything like OS itself or any drivers?
Buying Windows 10 it comes in a box with a USB inside but since I would already have Windows installed on my PC what do I do with the USB?

It should take the license as long as it's for the same edition of Windows you installed. (Home license for Home, Pro license for Pro, etc.)

That's just a copy of the install media you can download for free from Microsoft. You shouldn't have to use it.

I sold my soul for ProSupport.
