Can I use one ISO (Win10 home burned to a DVD) on two identical computers? These are both HP desktops with different license keys .... I only want to do this once for "just in case" a clean install is ever needed on either one. I will use the appropriate key for each desktop if I need to.
Absolutely! You can use the same ISO image for an unlimited number of computers so long as you have valid licensing. Note too that once Windows 10 is activated on a computer you will not need license keys for that system if you reinstall. The system will simply reactivate with a "digital license" if you ever reinstall.
Edit: Just for clarification, I'm talking about standard Windows 10 ISO images. If you are using a recovery disc for a particular system, those are customized by the OEM for specific models of computer. You cannot simply take one made for one model of computer and use it with another.
You dont need to create a dvd as you can always download the latest version free so there is no point in keeping an old out of date ISO which may take hours to update
