Why each option
The correct OS installation method for a home user with an Ultrabook depends on the hardware limitations of that device class.
Ultrabooks are thin, lightweight laptops that do not include optical drives, making a bootable USB flash drive the most practical installation method. Flash drives are widely supported as boot media on modern UEFI-based systems and are readily available for home use without requiring any network infrastructure.
PXE (Preboot Execution Environment) requires a dedicated network server to serve the OS image, which is not present in a typical home environment.
Ultrabooks lack built-in optical drives, making installation via optical disc impractical without an additional external drive, which is not the most likely scenario.
Drive cloning requires an existing pre-configured source drive with a compatible OS, which is not a standard approach for a new home OS installation on a purchased device.
