Purchase Windows 8 from an outlet PC, then transfer it to your SSD and install it on your computer.

On a Floppy Disk! Yeah, but a USB can work as an OS boot drive now.

Get the Windows 8 ISO file and apply it with the Windows USB imaging utility. http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/...nload-tool

Sure, USB is an option too. If you're serious about using a hard drive, it's not that costly—typically around twenty dollars.

I believe an external solution will be suitable.

Run the download on another computer, generate a bootable USB with the official Windows 8 ISO, and install it using the key provided by OutletPC.
