Question I need to re-install Windows 10

[Night_Strixx]

My PC is buggy and needs a wipe. I have Windows 10 on a USB key from last time I did this. Is that copy of Windows 10 still on that USB or do I have to re download it?

When was the last time?

Make a new Windows install media.
It will include all the recent major windows updates.
You won't need to go through update installs via windows update.

Yeah, exactly. I guess if you're asking this im assuming your internet has a download cap or maybe not fast enough, in which case it'll be fine using the older install. If neither of those are a reason then there's no reason not to redo it.
