I heard you can doawnloden on a USB stick (from another PC / laptop),

Then you have to plug in the USB stick only on the PC and the installed by itself.

Is that correct? And does the Doawnlod of Windows cost?

With the Media Creation Tool you can create a bootable USB stick. With that you can then Windows on a laptop or PC installed. This does not cost anything, but you have to activate Windows sooner or later. Windows is not expensive as long as you buy it on the right platform. I recommend MMOGA.

Yes, that is right. With the Microsoft Media Creation Tool, you can easily create a bootable stick and install fresh Windows from it. But you have to change the boot sequence in the bios, to googleing, because this is different with every motherboard (When you start the pc you see the button you have to press to get to the bios, mostly "Delete") , The stick must of course be in front of the normal hard drive in the order. (Remember to change this order after a successful installation, because otherwise every stuck stick becomes a problem.

If you already have a Windows key, you can continue to use it, as long as you do not intend to continue using the old computer. Otherwise, there are also cheap licenses to buy, you do not need to pay the maximum price of Microsoft anyway.

And yes, if you intend to use the computer permanently you need the license in any case, because Windows can be used only for a certain time without restriction. In addition, you will probably be told regularly that the activation has not yet taken place.

Yes that's true. You only need a bootable USB stick.

I have not made a BIOS update…

You do not need it either. BIOS updates I would only do if it is really necessary. These are always associated with a certain residual risk, because you make changes to the "heart of the computer".

Sry, but I have not always checked it (is not because of your text).
