Put a distro on a flash drive. Throw the flash drive in a drawer. If computer break, retrieve flash drive. There’s your spare computer. Now try doing that with windows.

Does Hiren’s BootCD PE count?

You can boot windows of an usb stick. You can create that with rufus. I tried it out of curiosity and it actually works.
