I’m not entirely sure, but a decent flash drive usually costs between $5 and $15. It might be feasible to run Linux on another drive, but unless someone confirms it or you locate a trustworthy guide online, I’d avoid changing your main operating system.

Are you referring to a hard drive? You'll need a physical installation medium to set up an operating system. This is usually a disk or another USB storage device. USB drives are readily available, often found at stores like Best Buy for around $30.

Rufus is a complimentary tool. It helps you generate a bootable USB and set up Linux on your storage without transferring it between devices.

As mentioned, you must launch the installer. Although Linux installers let you begin while using another OS (a practice from earlier times), they eventually restart and load onto a bootable drive. Using a USB stick is the most affordable option if you don’t have DVD drives available. There’s no problem getting the software here. However, the issue is that the person doesn’t have anything to mount it on.
