    Most computers do not come with installation media nowadays. Just a resetting partition.

      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.
