You can use Rufus to install Ubuntu onto an internal USB drive. It supports creating bootable images for USB storage.

Transfer the ISO onto a USB drive or CD, then use Rufus to insert it and boot from there for installation.

You can start from a hard drive without a USB, just boot it directly. This lets you create a bootable drive yourself.

Download the Ubuntu ISO file, then transfer it to a USB drive that can be booted using Rufus or write it onto a CD that will also boot. After inserting the USB or CD into the computer, restart it and let Ubuntu install on the HDD.

Yes, you can write to the HDD directly.

Ubuntu is similar to Windows in that it needs to be installed from a CD-ROM or USB drive. This allows the system to configure the chipset and drivers specific to your computer build. You can't simply download an OS onto an HDD or SSD and expect it to function properly since PCs differ.
