Okay, so I have a valid Windows 10 burnt to a DVD. i want to install it to a laptop without a tray. Are there any methods to do this.
Also, do any of you actually use Windows 8.1? Is it really that horrible? No, not memeing, if I fail with the Win10, I might as well install an 8.1, if I have no other options.

Buy a license key off eBay

If you're real lazy I am sure someone on eBay sells pre flashed USB sticks with keys.
If not, this method will set you back £5
Good luck!
The easiest way is obviously using a USB DVD drive.
But as long as you have a valid key, you can just download an installer and put it onto a USB thumbdrive:

Not spending my precious gold on hardware. Might try the usb burning version. Any opinion on the 8.1?

8.1 sucks ass. Trust me, you don't want it.
>>372891
With the solutions above, 8.1 is out of question.

Good.

Microsoft offers a free "Windows 10 Media Creation Tool" that handles every stage of this, including writing the DVD/USB.
