Need guidance on setting up Windows 8 with a motherboard disk installation?
You'll need a CD/DVD burner or driver to install your software, including Windows 8 and motherboard CD installation. A burner creates copies, while a driver enables your computer to read the disc. The main difference is that a burner writes data onto discs, whereas a driver allows your system to access them.
Current technology eliminates the need for physical media. USB and the internet handle everything.
It seems Windows 8 and the wireless motherboard setup, along with other drives, are packaged on a CD.
You don’t have internet access during the initial installation of Windows 8. To install it from a USB drive, follow the on-screen instructions provided by the installation media.
You can set up Windows on a USB drive via Microsoft's tool: http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/...nload-tool. Drivers can be uploaded to the USB using a connected PC with active internet access.
