How Can I Install Windows on My New PC Without Another Computer?
Asked by

I'm building my first PC and I know I need to download the Windows installer onto a USB drive, but I don't have access to another computer to do this. Is there any way to install Windows using only my new build, or am I out of luck?

Definitely try borrowing a computer from a friend or family member. You could also go to a public library or an internet cafe! They'll have the equipment you need to download Windows and set up your USB.

You might want to check out your local library or ask around to see if a friend can let you use their computer to create a bootable USB. It only takes about 10 minutes if you have a good internet connection!

Have you considered using your phone? If you have a USB drive with standard and OTG ends, you might be able to use an app to download the Windows installer directly to it. Just a thought!
