Explanation
PXE (Preboot Execution Environment) allows a client computer to boot over the network and receive an OS installation from a remote deployment server (such as WDS - Windows Deployment Services). The computer does not need local media; it contacts a DHCP/TFTP server to obtain the boot image. USB and CD-ROM require physical media to be present at the machine. NetBoot is Apple's equivalent technology for macOS, not Windows. PXE is the standard method for remote, unattended Windows deployments in enterprise environments.
