He can reinstall the OS using alternative methods like a live USB or cloud-based tools. Since he already has OS7 on his HDD, transferring it might be feasible without needing a physical CD or USB stick.

You can add it using any standard storage drive, though you must have the ISO file ready to make a bootable version. The process is similar to making a bootable USB, except you pick the desired drive during setup.

A drive is a storage device like a hard disk or solid-state drive. A file is a piece of data stored on that drive, used to save information such as documents or images.

He seems to be referring to a drive, such as an external hard drive or one connected through USB/Enclosure. The ISO file is essentially a snapshot of an operating system (like Windows 7 Pro 64-bit or Windows 7 32-bit) that can be obtained online. I’ll point you to a page with all the ISO files available. I’m not entirely confident about booting from a hard drive this way, but I’ll share a guide I found.
