PXE booted PCs usually trigger either an immediate full network OS install process (Windows/Linux/etc.) or the network load of a live OS (i.e. Live Linux distributions) using at this point powerful transfer protocols like HTTP, SMB/CIFS, NFS, etc. 'PXE boot' = 'Network boot' 'PXE Install' = 'Network install'. How to install Windows via PXE Network Boot with 'Serva' (Quick Start). As a PXE host, and boot the windows installation from any other computer in the same network. No need for USB or DVD install.
Use Serva http://www.vercot.com/~serva/an/WindowsPXE1.html or simply put the iso on a usb thumb drive with unetbootin http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/

In this topic, you will learn how to deploy Windows 10 using Microsoft System Center 2012 R2 Configuration Manager deployment packages and task sequences. This topic will walk you through the process of deploying the Windows 10 Enterprise image to a Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI) machine named PC0001.
For the purposes of this topic, we will use two additional machines: DC01 and CM01. DC01 is a domain controller and CM01 is a machine running Windows Server 2012 R2 Standard. DC01, CM01, and PC0001 are all members of the domain contoso.com for the fictitious Contoso Corporation. For more details on the setup for this topic, please see Deploy Windows 10 with the Microsoft Deployment Toolkit.
Start the PC0001 machine. At the Pre-Boot Execution Environment (PXE) boot menu, press Enter to allow it to PXE boot.
