Installing Windows in a laptop with no operating system

Hi, I'm into the process of buying a gaming laptop from Xotic PC (Sager NP9176). I would like to save some money and buy it without an operating system. I would like to know: How could I install the operator system? I'm thinking I'll buy a Windows License Key from gvgmall and install it by myself. I would like to know if anyone who reads this post could recommend me a video tutorial for this procedure.

You could of course install without the license first and add one later, so you wouldn't have to wait in the mail for a USB installer (or God forbid, a disc)

I WILL find your ITX build thread, and I WILL recommend the SIlverstone Sugo SG13B

WINDOWS 10 ON A DISC? No one should suffer that much

On a different computer you can download a Windows.iso file from Microsoft that matches the Key you buy. Then using either the Windows Media Creation tool or something like Rufus you can install the .ISO file to a thumb drive and install it on the laptop from there. The installer will prompt you for the key.
