Windows 8 Pro

I want to install Windows 8 Pro onto my laptop and my main PC. Can I buy a version that will cater for this or do I need two separate versions? Also which is the best version to go for? Ideally I'd rather perform a fresh install in both instances.

Two separate ones.
Assuming you have licenses already then the upgrade. It gives you an option what you want to do upgrade, keep files, keep nothing.

Ah, so it's basically a full version?

I presume this is the full version? http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=SW-150-MS

Are there any guides to installing it via USB?

You can use the upgrade version to do a clean install, but a few things would need to be done before it can be activated.
