The downvote is stupid... can you edit your original answer with this detail. I almost didn't look at this answer and would have downloaded WAIK for nothing.

@bicycle Self-answer doesn't pin to the top. Added a warning in the comments. Sorry.

The other advantage of this method is that you can do an upgrade if you want to.

The main problem with this is that it requires a working Windows installation on the hardware in question. If you have a blank drive then the other answer is useful. That answer also lets you make a hardware agnostic install, letting you move the hdd to another computer. This answer locks the installation to the hardware.
