They don't make 10 gig, 8 gig is fine.



Make model of laptop?

it's a Toshiba satellite p75-a7200

Nope, all good. Can boot from usb

Hit f12 repeatedly when starting it up. Can select usb (one time use) from there

I found a windows 8 disc on amazon for 10 bucks hopefully that will work

Wouldn't it be faster and cheaper to just go to friends house?
Did you get the right one? Your product key might have 32 bit or 64 bit listed next to it. If not, I'll need the model number to look it up

Yeah but where can I download a windows 8 64 bit exe file

Microsoft website

/E nvm, no longer supported. Have to use 8.1.

Will this laptop fit a m.2 form factor for ssd?

Or should I just get a 2.5 Sata 256 gb

Loosen a single captive screw on the P75-A7200's bottom access panel, and not only can you easily add an SSD or second hard drive, you'll find two open SODIMM slots for adding more memory.

Just get a 2.5" drive.
I would go SanDisk for $80ish
