Download an OS to a usb without a disc?

[RyanTownsley]

Hi, I am planning on buying a new PC without an operation system, as it is cheaper for me to buy the OS separately but many are just a download license. Is it possible for me to use this license to download the OS to a usb and then just plug this USB into my new computer and install the OS that way?

Thanks.

Yes , use one of these two tools to create a bootable USB...
