For many years, the installation process of Windows has been the privilege of optical drives, but with the advent of convenient and compact USB-drives and memory cards, the problem of using them as not only the storage location of the OS distribution, but also the installation source, has become increasingly common. And if earlier the problem of installing Windows from a USB flash drive was only in the convenience and comfort of this method, then with the advent of compact laptop tops, it got up especially sharply. Most laptops were not equipped with an optical drive in order to save money, and for netbooks that have recently become widespread, they are not provided at all.
