So,

I'm very cheap.

Incredibly cheap. I was wondering:

- I have a new desktop computer, I'm assembling it from components with no operating system included.
- I also have a laptop, fairly useless except for typing documents at school, which I've recently graduated anyway.
- Said laptop has Windows 8 installed on it.

--Can I:
---Download Windows 10 free upgrade for the laptop, but put it onto a USB device for upload to the new rig?

If so what pitfalls must I avoid or steps should I take?

I am not a 'Tech' guy at all, so any simple and concise explanations are greatly welcomed!

Thank you, you guys are my brain trust.
