Building a PC online and am confused over the options for buying a Windows Operating system, does ‘No Media’ mean I don’t need CD/DVD drive and that the OS will be on the SSD drive?

Hello Miilo87, and thank you for your submission to Gaming PC! If you are new please check out our rules over at the wiki [here](https://www.reddit.com/r/gamingpc/wiki/rules)! We have recently added the useful feature of Title Flair! You can set this manually by clicking Flair under your post once you have submitted your post, but if you missed it in the rules there is a much better way that will automatically flair your post!
To do this simply add what your post is about in brackets before your title. For example for a Build Log you can type [Build Log] before your post so that it looks like this; [Build Log]My new awesome build!, and the bot will automatically set your flair to Build Log! This works for Build Log, Build Showcase, News, Hardware News, Hardware Release, Discussion, and Miscellaneous!
Also remember that this is a place for discussing and sharing our love of Gaming Computers! This is NOT the place for help building or determining what parts you should buy, that is better suited for /r/buildapc. Troubleshooting questions should be directed to /r/techsupport. Thank you again!

I think the system will be installed without any recovery media provided (probably no recovery partition as well.) and you will need to provide your own USB stick with windows in case of the reinstall (the key to activation will be in bios). System itself and tools to create bootable windows usb is made available by microsoft.

I read it as, Windows will be installed, and you will have a pretty standard OEM licence – that’s the bit you’re paying for.
