You can save the ISO file and then generate the installation media, provided you possess a valid Windows key.
That's exactly what the post described. You can locate the ISO file, use tools like USB installers or similar programs to create a bootable USB drive, and then plug it in to start the installation. It works instantly. I tried this when setting up Windows without a CD drive. EDIT: If you're attempting to install Windows on multiple systems simultaneously, the key may block it, so plan accordingly. If you move the installation after uninstalling the original, it should function properly.
