Running without a GPU?

[socksandpatches]

Hi, I’ve been wondering if I can run my gaming pc without a GPU? The motherboard is a Z390 Msi meg godlike and the CPU a i9-9900k, which i think has integrated graphics. I’m only running it for a while until my graphics card will get here. I don’t have a monitor or Windows 10 home as well, so I’m trying to run it on my TV as hilarious as it seems. It probably won’t work without Windows 10 home; if it doesn’t I’ll get an online key. But will it work at all? Also, how do you hook up the TV and the tower? Is it supposed to be an HDMI, a VGA cable.. etc.

It will work.
Connect with HDMI.

^ if you don’t mind me asking, where does the HDMI cable connect? It seems like the only HDMI I have is for a Streaming Boost card.

That motherboard has no graphics capability:

You are expected to use an actual GPU.

Can run a non activated Win10 legally, just it'll be limited like wont be able to customise desktop until you get a legitimate key. But first, you'll need to install Win10 since im assuming your drive would be empty?

While you wait for gpu, prepare an usb install.
