You can set up Windows from anywhere, but you require a local network device and a preconfigured setup. A LAN-based solution or USB storage will make things much clearer, especially for larger networks.

I believe an IPKVM isn't suitable for transmitting inputs between two distinct devices in that way.

They have a setup for Linux devices on Intel PXE boot, linking them to their servers to fetch and install the right image. In this way, it’s possible to manage a computer without an operating system through another method. However, practical uses are limited.
