FYI, Microsoft offers its Media Creation Tool and ISOs of Windows install media on its website for free download. It’s easy to create your own USB install disk. Of course, I do not officially condone the despicable act of installing Windows, but sometimes ya gotta do what ya gotta do.
But you can always make a boot/install medium yourself. Up until XP I would just have a key and when I needed to reinstall, I’d get the CD from our local tech guy. Now you can just download that stuff from MS website.
That’s just wrong! Your technique for reinstalling Windows can always improve.
And there is even more room to improve now, that you are officially denied the option of reinstalling it.
Wait, how is the option gone?
Most computers do not come with installation media nowadays. Just a resetting partition.

Oh God, I remember the monthly format C and reinstall windows xp, followed by the dreaded service packs installation. That was how I fixed problems.
