I need to install Windows 10 Educational Edition onto my new PC. I have a valid product key from my school and a USB drive. I don't have any Windows 10 disk or way of installing the OS onto my new pc. Is there any way I can install it onto my new PC?

Did you purchase the USB drive yourself? Or was that part of getting the product key?

yes, all you have to do is insert the bootable USB with windows on it and then turn the system on and go into the bios by usually tapping the delete button, once you are in the bios you will want to find the bootable drives section labled "boot" change the USB you plugged in to boot priority number 1 and then save and exit the bios and once rebooted you should enter windows setup.

Was there a download link on the website you got your key from with your school?
