Installing Windows 10 to a new Gaming PC

[hguypeace]

Hi I had a quick question about installing the Windows 10 OS to a self-built PC.

I'm going to buy this: https://www.amazon.com/Windows-Home-Bit-OEM-ENGLISH/dp/B01LZKNPUJ/ref=sr_1_1?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1480625690&sr=1-1&keywords=windows+10
(I know the gray market exists but I'd like to play it safe)

So I'm getting an installation DVD for the Windows 10, right?
But the PC I'm building doesn't have an optical drive.

Would I be able to create an installation media on a USB flash drive and use that instead?
All I need is a valid product key for that, right?

Thanks all!

Yes, that is all you need. Download the Windows Media Creation Tool, you a 4GB stick, and you should be ok. As long as you got the key, you are golden.

Yes that is a DVD that will come to you.
You can use Windows Media Creation Tool from here to create a bootable USB Windows 10 installation drive and then just use the key you get from the seller.

Absolutely , just follow the install setup for USB creation , super easy to do , but you must create it on a 64 bit PC.
