Do yourself a favor and get a USB stick with Linux on it, regardless of whether or not you are going to use it to install Linux.

When stuff breaks, you'll regret not having a bootable media like that. Also, if you are using windows and Bitlocker (the default these days), then be sure to store your encryption keys somewhere, where you can easily access them. Otherwise you won't be able to access your Windows drives

"Free" and "libre". But this has only ever referred to the software itself, not to the hardware needed to use it.

That should be obvious, since otherwise almost no OSS would be FLOSS. After all, you have to buy a PC or another device to run it
