Rumors are spreading that Microsoft is preparing now only a traditional DVD release for Windows 10 but also a USB flash drive version as many users no longer have optical disc drives.

This week, German-language enthusiast site WinFuture.de published what is claimed to be stock listings - including stock-keeping unit (SKU) numbers - for USB flash drive variants of Windows 10 Home and Windows 10 Professional. Priced to match the DVD release and containing both 32-bit and 64-bit versions, the USB release is likely to prove popular - cutting out, as it does, a step of the process for those who don't wish to or can't use optical media.
