you can transfer windows 10 installation media to your usb drive and install it directly onto your system without using a dvd. you can use tools like bootable windows or create a bootable usb image and boot from that instead. then you can transfer the installed windows to its original machine if needed.

Use the media creation tool to choose the appropriate drive for installing W10.

Rufus recommends converting an external HDD to a bootable Windows version that's more compact. USB drives are very affordable.

It's ramen, but fortunately it isn't related to your question either.

Why not rely on a USB drive for an installer? It would perform optimally in this situation. Alternatively, place the installer on an external hard drive. Or start from the network.

Yes, it functions properly in Windows.

Sure, I’ll try loading the installation files and let the original PC handle the setup.

I haven't attempted this before, so I can't provide definitive information, but it's certainly worth giving a shot.

Have you experimented with a USB installation on another computer? Moving the drive with Windows installed onto the desired PC is possible. Network installation functions well on most recent systems.
