Hey there! I just built a new computer and it doesn’t have an OS or an optical drive. I got Windows 10 from Kinguin, but I’m not sure how to install it on my new machine using a USB stick. Any advice would be great!

Find a device running Windows, visit the official Microsoft site to get the Media Creation Tool, then use it to generate an ISO or install Windows via USB.

You purchased the key code correctly? Visit Microsoft's site to obtain the .exe file first. Launch it and convert your USB drive or DVD into a Windows flash drive. Insert the converted file into a device with sufficient storage, enable BIOS booting to that drive, and proceed with the installation. If you have an SSD, use it during setup.

You need to transfer the operating system from Kinguin to your media creation device. Check the instructions provided by Kinguin for specific steps.

You didn't download anything from Kinguin. Just follow my instructions: use the Media Creation Tool to build a Windows installer, note the license key you purchased on Kinguin (write it somewhere), then input it during installation. Alternatively, after installing, enter the key in Windows—it will recognize it automatically. If you got an OEM key, you won't need to re-enter it once you reinstall, even after reformatting.
