What happens if you boot from PXE and not from an HDD?

Hi! Booting from a PXE means that you’re bypassing an HDD and booting from a network (NIC)? So what happens if you do this instead of just a hard drive?

yep you got it booting from pxe means your computer is getting an os image from another computer over the network instead of using your hard drive. it’s pretty cool cause it lets you run systems without local storage which is super handy for testing or when your hdd is broken. just think of it as borrowing your friend’s brain for a while instead of using your own
