According to the image, each USB stick will allow for the respective OS to be installed, and licensed for use, on a single device. We gather the two versions of Windows 10 are standalone ones, and they cost more than their DVD or digital counterparts.
- Microsoft Windows 10 Home - US$144.23 (versus US$119, the alleged price of the DVD/digital version)
- Microsoft Windows 10 Pro - US$238.01 (versus US$199, the alleged price of the DVD/digital version)
The USB drive versions are targeted at Windows users who want to pay a premium for speedier installation experience, vis-a-vis installing the OS from DVDs. As a backup medium, the USB drive is definitely more convenient than DVDs.
