Windows 10: Installing Windows 10 from External Hard Drive

I have a laptop that has Linux on it. I want Windows 10 Pro. I have the iso, but can't find my usb sticks. Is there an easy way to install from an external hard drive reader? I have one that I can read drives from and was wondering how it can be done if possible?

Thanks

:)

I have recently purchased a new hard drive for my laptop and want to transfer Windows 10 from my laptop to the hard drive without purchasing a new copy of Windows 10.

I have an extra external hard drive to install and copy Windows to and from the new hard drive.

Thank you

 

What bootloader are you using?

There are instructions for booting ISO image from GRUB2 here Boot into Terabyte Image for UEFI from Grub2 - AIO Boot

 

I'm not familiar with external HDD readers so I can't help you with that question.

For installing W10 copy the iso you have to the drive you want to install W10 on (remove all other drives/storage devices except the one you want W10 on) right click the iso, mount it, double click setup and it should install.

I think unless you create another partition it will delete the Linux OS, if that's ok then let W10 do as it wants as far as formatting and installing.
