Downloading Windows
It’s unlikely to download Windows from scratch without an existing operating system. The process typically requires starting from a base image or installation media.
It might be feasible to run a live USB distribution of Linux without any operating system installed.
Only a Windows Install Media can be used, such as a USB drive or disc. More advanced methods exist like PXE boot, but they still require an existing operating system on the device. You cannot simply install Windows without any tools or media if the computer is blank. Using a portable OS is possible, but you must already have that OS to boot into. Therefore, the answer is definitely no—you need something to start with.

If you already possess a bootable Linux USB, you can start from there. Obtain a Windows ISO file directly from Microsoft—no need for any conversion software. You can also utilize another USB for the ISO on Linux; numerous programs like Rufus or Unetbootin make this easy. If you lack a Linux drive, consider using a different computer to generate the Windows media first. A Linux USB is often useful and worth keeping. You may also repurpose it as a standard flash drive if needed.
