Hey there! I just got my new computer and am a bit nervous about installing the OS. I plan to use Windows and found a website suggesting I could use a USB stick for the installation. I don’t have a DVD drive, but if needed, I can get one. Any tips or advice would be really helpful. Thanks!

Sure, you can utilize a USB drive to create a bootable installation. You'll need a different computer to set it up, though. The link you shared looks promising.

Power on via USB and it simply cycles through options until prompted to install. Choose advanced, pick a drive, format it, then proceed. Creating a bootable USB requires a different machine.

Yes, that's what I meant. You're referring to transferring the operating system from one device to another.

I aim to make a bootable USB drive, but you'll need a different machine with an operating system already set up. Check out these videos for guidance.
