Windows 10: Is using an USB the only way of installing Windows?

Pretty much the title. Also I wonder if I can install it directly from my PC, and if so, is it downgraded or something? I'd buy an USB stick for it, but I heard I need a 32 GB stick and I think that is expensive only for installing Windows. I plan on getting the Image from the Official Microsoft Site.

Yeah some of the installation steps are done in just a second, I was intalling it left the room for 10 minutes came back to check on it to find it at the start screen lol, it installed and rebooted back to the USB, wasn't expecting it to be done so fast.
