Share it over the network the same you would with a hard drive or folder. Wired or wireless doesn't matter if its a one-off job every once in a while.
It probably won't install any faster but its a cheap solution that works.

Thanks for the reply. I just realized that I have a problem. Even if I were to use the network drive, how can I reinstall the Tablet OS without an external drive? If I use the network drive, the moment that the OS begins to reinstall, I will lose the network drive as the settings will no longer be functional. If the installation is common to the usual non-Tablet OS, the optical drive is needed throughout the installation process. Is there a way to do this without an optical drive?

It is possible to install from across the network, but it takes a bit of fiddling about.
