Go here: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10

 

Download the tool. Run. Create ISO. Profit.

 

Edit: You can also go into settings and create a backup ISO in system recovery.

yeah I don't think it will let you keep the activated copy. You'll have to reactivate it each time. 

 

Otherwise you can just distribute the activated version all over the place and whats the point of that?

 

 

 

As far as cloning the drive I think that's the best bet. I've only done it 2 or 3 times and never had an issue with activating it.
