I am working on windows 10 currently. I was wondering if MX Linux could be installed directly from online. Thanks for taking the time to reply.

Strictly speaking yes, but only if you have more than one hard drive. You'd need some technical expertise, because it's not a normal thing to do.

In reality, you would be better off buying the cheapest USB storage you can find (which should be cheaper than the cost to post it to you, these days) and turning that into an installer

You don't even need another hard drive. I followed a different set of instructions years ago just to say I did it.
