Microsoft wants Windows 10 sell well on USB Flash Drive
Microsoft wants Windows 10 sell well on USB Flash Drive
Install Windows 10 from USB Flash Drive
According to our information, Microsoft plans, both Windows 10 and Windows Home offer 10 Professional in the form of USB sticks with the enclosed license. In addition, there should be different language versions, which we can only confirm the previously defintive availability of versions in English and French.
Windows 10, we can already mention: Windows 10 Home will be available for 119.99 dollars, while for Windows 10 Professional on a flash drive should be $ 199.99 due. Compared to the normal retail versions prices therefore covers not higher than in the normal DVD or download versions that carry the same price. Microsoft provides with the introduction of USB sticks as a Windows 10 installation media is another option for the customer. Thanks to the sticks can be the new operating system in the future with little effort and in pure form on a PC or tablet without an optical drive installed. A download will become obsolete, as well as the creation of installation media from a downloaded ISO file.
