Good decision, but does it mean dvd installation disks are over? or going to extinction?
Microsoft Corporation has reportedly decided to provide its latest and final Windows-based operating system, Windows 10, through USB, which could mean game over for the installation disks. As confirmed by the company, all users of authentic Windows 7, 8 and 8.1 will be allowed to upgrade the operating system on their PCs if they choose to.
The upgrade will be free for these users and they can download the latest OS. As of now, users of authentic operating systems are being prompted to reserve their upgrade to Windows 10 which will take place after the highly anticipated OS will be released worldwide on July 29, 2015.

Users who are not approved for receiving the free upgrade will need to buy the new operating system. It has been reported that Microsoft Corporation might offer USB drives which would contain all the important installation files for Windows 10, and this could mean game over for the Windows disks and DVDs.
The USB drives would replace the disks and DVDs for sales in stores, though it is being speculated that at the beginning, Microsoft Corporation may distribute Windows 10 on DVDs as well as USB flash drives for sale once it becomes available on July 29. Prices for different versions of Windows 10 have been revealed and users can choose the version that they would like to run on their PCs depending on their choice.
