Operating System Installation and Partitioning

The video tutorial covers various methods of installing operating systems, including using USB drives, network installations like PXE, and external drives. It explains in-place upgrades, clean installs, and corporate image deployments. The tutorial also delves into partitioning and formatting, comparing GPT and MBR partition styles, and highlights the importance of backups during these processes.
