Easiest way to install windows with no disc drive
I have a laptop I got for next to nothing, however its in good working condition. It doesn't have a disc drive though.
Is it difficult to install with a USB drive? Or should I just buy an external disc drive sonewhere? Quote:

Now I maybe stupid, but Windows only comes on a CD I think.
So I think u should get a cheap external CD drive. Besides u prolly have other games to install too |

You can install windows on a USB drive, I'm just not sure of the difficulty in doing so. I have a desktop and another laptop as well that I can use to install the needed files onto a USB drive.
I would likely need to purchase a new USB drive of larger size or an external HD (which I plan to buy sometime anyway) Or if it would be less hassle just to get a disc drive. |

USB would be cheapest. You need an 8 or 16 gb flash drive and a copy of windows. It's not really difficult and it should be faster to install since a flash drive should be faster than installing from a disc.
