How do I install windows on a pc I'm building? I have this physical copy with a key for Windows 10 for OEM software. I have no optical drive. How do I install it?
 
Solution
You can use Microsoft's media creation tool to download win 10 and create a bootable usb flash drive.

only way to install it is to get a copy of the windows 10 version you have and put it on a USB stick. if you have access to another computer you can download the media creation tool for MS website and use it to load windows 10 on a USB stick. the USB stick will have to be at least 4GB for the install
