Today I bought a laptop, but it hasn't got an internal disk drive?

What is the cheapest external drive I can buy to use instead. Please leave a link of the product on amazon if possible. Thanks!

    All modern laptops should support booting from an external drive

    If I'm thinking right, external drives are probably going to plug into the laptop through the USB ports and not all laptops support booting from external media. Also it's not a good idea to boot windows from an external drive where ever you go especially if you're going to be mobile with the laptop. Just buy a cheap laptop drive to install and it's good to go.

    I'm assuming that since you said there isn't an internal disk, there's no operating system on it because there's nothing to store an OS on it.
