I'm setting up my PC today. I purchased the Windows 8.1 disk version but don’t have an optical drive. How can I install it on a USB flash drive? My gaming laptop has its own optical drive—should I put the disk in there and then copy the file to the USB? Thanks!

I believe transferring the files via USB will resolve the issue.

Create a reset refresh for media on Windows 8 via the official support site.

Format USB as FAT, then transfer all files onto it
