No, not the way you're thinking.
That $100 is for the license key, not the install media.

You can use the MediaCreation tool all you want. But when you install, it will ask for the license key. Which is where the $100 comes in.

Yes, you can install windows 10, it will work for some time, but it will be in non activated state.
Certain features will be locked out, like windows updates, unchangable desktop background
and big nag remainder that your windows is not genuine.

After some time even more disruptive remainders may kick in.
