It seems like you're asking whether this USB installation process matches standard methods for installing software on a brand-new system without an operating system.

The device is brand new and lacks an operating system.

When the USB version is 3.0 and the port matches it, it functions smoothly at those speeds. No prior operating system required.

Yes, you can transfer the ISO directly to a USB drive using tools like Rufus, provided you choose the appropriate boot manager.

Windows isn't compatible with my motherboard right away, so I have to install the necessary drivers first. Once that's done, I should be able to connect to the internet smoothly. Other than this, everything seems okay. You're likely to have a smoother experience than I do.
