Yes, you can install your Windows 10 from a USB if you have a Windows 10 installation media.

To install Windows 10 from a USB, a USB with at least 8GB of storage capacity is needed. A USB drive with lower storage will not function because Windows 10 is quite big and needs enough space to be installed.

Here is how to Install Windows 10 from a USB:

Step 1. Insert the USB drive into your computer and go to Windows 10 download page.

Step 2. In Create Windows 10 installation media section, click on Download Tool Now.

Step 3. Save the file to your PC and double-click on the "MediaCreationToolxxxx.exe" file to open the utility.

Step 4. Tap Accept button to agree to the terms.

Step 5. Choose the Create installation media (USB flash drive, DVD, or ISO file) for another PC option, and click Next.

Step 6. Choose the Language, edition of Windows 10, and Architecture, and click Next.

Step 7. Ensure your USB drive is connected to your PC, select the USB flash drive option, and click Next.

Step 8. Choose your removable drive from the list and click Next.

Step 9. Click Finish and boot the USB drive to activate it.

Alternatively, you can also create a bootable USB with EaseUS OS2Go.
