Hi,

I am thinking of getting a new laptop (Dell XPS 15). It doesn't come with a DVD drive like my existing HP Pavilion. I was going to get an external DVD drive but I was wondering would that work when installing a future version of Windows from DVD ?

Say I had Windows 10 Preview on the external DVD - could i complete the installation process with it ?
