Windows 8 without an optical drive

Maxarini · Sep 24, 2014

This is my build: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/JTmh23

As you can see I don't have an optical drive but I DO have the windows 8 OEM install CD. I also have another computer with an optical drive.

How can I install windows 8 without buying it again(Since I already bought the install CD.

Thanks in advance!!!

Just pull it from the other system and slave it in fir the install... once complete put it back and button up the new system.

You can use this http://www.microsoftstore.com/store/msusa/html/pbPage.Help_Win7_usbdvd_dwnTool to create a bootable usb drive using a windows 8 dvd. I know it says win 7 but it works for win 8 too.

Doesn't have to be 32GB, just 8GB If I recall.
