Solution ImAFreakingTaco Oct 5, 2016 As the other person said, you can install windows on a usb and get the windows installer from her. https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/windows-usb-dvd-download-tool . If on an optical drive, the most popular one that is bought is the Asus DRW-24B1ST/BLK/B/AS DVD/CD Writer. I own one and I can honestly say that it is very reliable when it comes to the general burning and reading disks. Heres the link to the page where you can see prices https://pcpartpicker.com/product/2v9KHx/asus-optical-drive-drw24b1stblkbas .
