I see most new laptops lack a DVD drive so I have two questions:
1. Can I clean install Windows 11 using a USB stick? Do modern laptops detect the USB drive if there's not OS installed? In the past 've had many problems with installing from a USB drive and my Windows DVD always saved me.
2. If my laptop comes with Windows 10 would you suggest a clean install or upgrade (if it's 10 Home I'd definitely install Win 11 Pro as I want to use a local account).
Thanks in advance & happy holidays!
