Microsoft Plans Sell Windows 10 on Flash Drive Not on Optical Drive


Microsoft has planned that it will be selling Windows 10 on bootable USB flash drives instead of any other optical media as they sold earlier. This will allow consumers to install the OS even on computers and laptop that don't have built-in optical disc drive in their machines or system, such as some of the ultra-portable notebooks. The USB drives will also likely be a good bit faster than the discs, making the process quicker.

The OS is now currently up for pre-order on Amazon and is available on a USB drive. You can pre-order the Home edition for $119.99 and the Pro edition for $199.99. These USB drives will be available via other retailers including the Microsoft Store.

“Windows 10 will be available on USB drives for purchase in retail channels shortly after launch,” a Microsoft spokesperson told VentureBeat. “The suggested retail prices for Windows 10 in the U.S. are the same as Windows 8.1.”
