    Is it possible to install Windows without using a CD or a floppy? Like through a LAN or using a flash drive? I have a laptop without any disk drives and obviously without an operating system, so is it still possible to get an OS on there, or do i need a CD or floppy drive?

    You can get a CD drive and run something like linux live on it. I dont know how to have a computer boot from LAN and i have never tried, if your motherbaord supports it you can try booting from USB and put a copy of linux on there.
