Is there any way to do a fresh install off an os with a flash drive? Currently my computer has no os installed and when turned on it goes right to the mb bios. If I were to just plug a flash drive into the computer would it put the os onto the computer?

It'll bring you into the setup. Which will in turn install the OS.

As long as you've set up the USB as a bootable USB drive and put it in a USB 2.0 port.

And that is done how?
