Question on installing windows

When I installed windows I kept the usb stick I used to install it. If my friend buy only a key (same version evidently), can I use my copy that I have on my usb to install it or will it not recognize the number key? It's a new build, do I have to plug in the ethernet cable? Will it work if the ethernet driver are not yet installed? It is to note that it is the french version, I live in Canada, Québec

 

EDIT : I obtained my copy on dreamspark for free if this makes a difference

Yes, it'll work

Even with "GLOBAL" version on g2a? It pretty much the cheapest place to buy it I think.

yes...when you buy windows you are basically only buying the cd key..the software is exactly the same (within each windows version)

If you need remote help fixing something on your computer

I can help over Teamviewer if you wish

just msg me on my profile
