So you have a spare Windows installer, but don't have a spare 8GB usb stick? It's a matter of downloading an image writer like Balena Etcher and an ISO and you're done

If you use Ventoy instead of Balena Etcher you can even still use the USB for other files

Even a 1 or 2 GB stick is plenty for a lot of good distros and network installers
