You should be able to encrypt the USB device even if you reinstall VeraCrypt or Windows, as long as you remember the password (and have access to the key file, if you created one).

Depending on which filesystem you chose in your encrypted volume any operating system that supports that filesystem and has Veracrypt installed would be able to decrypt and mount your volume. If you know the password that is.
