So I'm going without an optical drive or a wireless card on my first PC build in order to cut down a little bit on costs. I'm trying to find the most efficient way to install Win10 on my new PC that does not have easy access to a wired internet connection. I have a few ideas, but I wanted to see how difficult it would be to just network the two computers together and use the old PC's optical drive (or internet connection if that's any simpler). I'm currently running Ubuntu off a USB stick on the new PC.
