I only have an external HDD and I saw a guide but it needs it to be reformated and I do not want to do that. And also I saw a guide about using the internal HDD but still needs to reformat it.

So is there any way to install windows 8.1 without going through all those hassle?

I have a USB but it's been write-protected ever since. No switch to trigger it. And every possible solution I found at that time never worked.
