My friend bought a computer for his mom- and she didn't use it. She ended up never taking it out of the box, never installing an OS and bought a laptop instead.

Anyway, aside from my friend's mom being inconsider at the cost of her son's $800+ on a computer for her; HE SENT IT TO ME!

He sent me the following;

Thermaltake Case, side panel, the whole works, case looks amazing. Very roomy- I believe it's a Mid ATX.
AMD FX-8350- a HUGE HUGE HUGE HUGE HUGE HUGE Upgrade from my AMD FX 4350 (Runs POE at 50 FPS at 85% CPU)
16GB of ram
and a GTX 750 Ti SC (At the time the GTX 1k series was not out)

Anyway- I got this awesome computer.

Now here is the problem...

I lost my USB Flashstick
I don't have any discs
and it has no operating system :(

How can I get past going out and buying a Flashstick?

I don't have a car, I walk everywhere- and walmart is 15 miles away. It's also freezing outside because it rained lastnight- so that is out of the question.

my tools are;

A SSD, MY HHD(Which has a backup partition of restore Windows 8) and the new SSHD Which is a Hybrid SSD/HHD, '1' Ethernet cable, and THIS computer has a wifi adapter.

I want Windows 10 on it. I have Windows 8, upgraded it to windows 10 for free back in June. What do?

Going to try this;
Using the SSHD on my current computer. Partitioning it. Adding a Windows 10 ISO. Activating the ISO, then on install- deactivating the ISO to burn to the partitioned part of the SSHD. Then deleting the ISO Partition and activating the normal drive.

Hopefully that will work?

Found it from this video;
