If I have inactivated windows 10 home, do I use the usb drive to install the activated version? Or does this also come with product key that I can use to activate windows? But if I do reinstall it, will it keep all of my files/data? null

Comes with product key

It comes with a key. I would assume that as a fresh install, all your files will be lost.
