When buying a Windows license from a retail outlet, you’ll typically receive a Windows 10 USB installer or a Windows 10 DVD. As long as your device can boot from a USB drive—most modern systems can—this should function properly.

Gather an 8GB USB drive and a Windows 10 .iso installation file. Use RUFUS to mount the ISO onto the USB. Connect it to your computer via a hard drive or SSD. For optimal performance, consider installing Windows on an SSD. Power on your machine, enter BIOS settings, choose the USB, and observe the spinning indicator. Proceed through the installation prompts as they appear. You can find more guidance here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ftS0sWhVoHY

Looking for a system from the last five years that can't be started from USB? I'm not familiar with it yet, but your question sparked interest. Are you using Windows 10? There are many free alternatives available in the Linux community.

I've encountered systems from five years back where USB booting was officially allowed, though results varied widely. It wasn't a consistent experience. Now it's much more reliable.

My vintage board from 2008 works with it. The latest graphics card from 2013 also supports it. It seems non-OEM models should be compatible too.

The AMD 780 series board tends to stay on during boot from USB, regardless of operating system.

Any Intel board should function unless it's an OEM variant. Even a budget, low-quality Abit board from 2008 can work.
