I'm unable to transfer windows from my hdd to my ssd for unknown reasons. It's at the point where I've decided to wipe my pc and boot windows to the ssd. However, I've lent my friend my only memory stick, so nothing to boot from :/. Is it possible to install windows 10 on the ssd and then just wipe my hdd. Will this work? If so can someone tell me how to do it lol. Thanks :)

I don't think that's possible, as when you boot into the windows installer from the ssd it would ask to select a drive to install windows on, not sure that can be the same drive. I suggest waiting until you get your USB back, or buying a super cheap one. Doesn't have to be larger than 4GB.
