no dvd

About this tag
The no dvd tag covers discussions about installing or recovering Windows on computers without a CD/DVD drive. Common topics include using USB drives for installation or system recovery, creating bootable USB media from ISO files, dual-booting without optical media, and troubleshooting boot issues when a DVD drive is absent. Users often seek alternatives to DVD-based methods for Windows 7, 10, or other operating systems, especially on laptops lacking optical drives. The tag reflects practical workarounds for installation, recovery, and boot configuration in environments where DVD drives are unavailable.
