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.

It's simple. A Ubuntu live CD can work as an alternative. On Ubuntu or similar Linux systems, you can easily use the up4 dump tool to download Windows and create an ISO image.

由于主网站被多家ISP阻断,可以使用我的中文朋友代理站 https://uupdump.7788.work/ 下载。选择版本后,解压包并运行Linux脚本,使用bash命令。

When needed, simply utilize the Windows Media Creation Tool available on Microsoft's site along with a flash drive of at least 8GB to generate an install USB. Start your computer in that environment and proceed through the setup process.

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.
