A:AnswerYou have two avenues here. You can just use the key and activate the Windows currently installed. Or...you could use the flash drive (stick) to run through the whole installation and set-up again. Depending on how long ago you loaded the inactivated version you have, I would just reload to get current program changes, if any. It is really not that long and if you have an corrupt or missing files it will write them in.
A:AnswerThis is the retail version, mine came with a usb, had to get this for a pc that i built and the box says its both 32 & 64 bit i’m guessing depends on your system hardware.
A:AnswerThe one I purchase has a usb. I decided to run an image backup of my old windows 7 and that took some time. The installation took me about 1 to 1.5 hours.
A:AnswerYes, if your hard drive is large enough, if your CPU is fast enough, and if you have enough RAM. Some people use dual OS's, but if you have the right hardware, you can just start with a fresh OS. Remember, the software for Linux won't be the same as Windows software. Just figure out how to get the BIOS to boot to the Windows OS thumb drive and it will load if you have the right hardware. Check the Windows specifications
