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?

The machine will try to find a PXE server that would contain images to reinstall the PC, first by IPV4 then IPV6. If no server is detected the process fails and the computer will use the next available boot option (the boot priority is managed in the BIOS)
