Hello. Will I need to reinstall the Creator's update after a full Windows 10 reinstall from the genuine CD? If so, are there options to prevent this? Thank you!
You don’t need CDs; your official USB can be updated by connecting it to a Windows 10 PC.
I question whether the CDs are rewritable and probably won’t support added updates. Microsoft provides USB installers that allow creating updated USB drives for installation.
Use the Windows 10 media creation utility to obtain the most recent release (ensure the tool version aligns with your desired OS version, as each is restricted to one specific Windows build). Then generate a disc image ready for burning to a DVD or produce a USB installer.
Get the newest Windows 10 ISO including the Creators Update for a fresh installation.
