I need to reinstall Windows using flash drive because the Product Key gets corrupted even  but I can't control the installer environment because the one and only USB port is being used and the touchpad and keyboard are not working

If you got a USB hub, with several USB ports, and plugged that into your laptop, you should then be able to use all the devices along with the USB stick -- but there is no guarantee that will work.
