Best Answer

Yes, if you reinstall the Operating system. No, if you don't.

You need a hard drive, thumb drive or SSD drive in order to use an operating system. It will still start up but will stop at the load screen and will just wait for an Operating System to start up from. You can use a start up disk to use but you will not be able to do anything other then look at the pretty icons.
