It seems you're asking about placing Windows on a brand-new, custom-built machine with an SSD that contains the ISO. I've found varied opinions online, so please confirm your setup details for more precise guidance.

Use a program such as Rufus to format the SSD. Simply insert the ISO drive, erase its contents, then load the new data from the ISO.

Yes, you can reformat the SSD afterward and use it normally without damaging it.

Just a USB stick with an ISO inside. Not exactly the usual setup. If you unpack the ISO onto the USB, it could work if the drive is formatted correctly. Speaking of, there are two things to note: 1) Special USB cases designed for installing from ISO files appear as optical drives on your system. 2) There are tools that can turn a USB into a bootable environment where you can pick an ISO to load, though compatibility isn’t great and it can be a bit complicated. Yes, but consider buying an 8 or 16GB flash drive—those are affordable now and worth the investment.

I felt a bit like a burden and preferred avoiding extra dangers when a budget USB would suffice. Appreciate the assistance!
