    So i have win 7 atm, and its highly damaged, but soon i will buy new 1, will be Win 10 Box, i look around versions, and i see something that confuse me, on title there is USB, why there USB?

    Need Info About Superfetch

    Yes, I have had random freezes on my computer. In the first place, my computer

    was booting up too slow, so I changed some things in msconfig in boot, then advanced.

    Now my computer is starting up much quicker. I have looked at some places which

    may cause my computer to freeze, also the start-up in task manager, but those

    programs that I don't need on startup are disabled.

    I would not disable SuperFetch unless doing so resolves permanently a problem you think it's causing.

    Note that on 100% disk usage cases many will report that disabling it helps, but then almost always say later the problem came back. So I am skeptical and would not disable unless it clearly tests to resolve a problem.

    I hope this helps more.

    First, does the computer have a Windows 7 sticker with a product key printed on it? If yes, you can still use that product key to activate a clean install of Windows 10 for free.

    If you purchase a Retail box version of Windows 10, it does come on a USB flash drive and not a DVD.

    I'm not sure if I understand everything correctly, but I'll post this =)

    It is much better to install Windows 10 from a flash drive, because once you download Windows 10 to the flash drive (from Microsoft's website), it is the most updated version of Windows 10. If you find Windows 10 on a DVD Disc, it is very likely that this Windows 10 isn't completely updated with security updates, etc...

    But in answer to your question in your post right above this one: I don't think Microsoft officially puts Windows 10 on a DVD anymore, because DVD is out-dated technology; it's old.

    *Edit*: I did an image search for Windows 10 DVD discs, I see only a few. This most likely means they didn't do many of them, because DVD is old technology.

    If you need a DVD to install from, then you can just download the ISO from Microsoft and burn your own DVD - but the latest ISO do require a double layer (DL) DVD.

    Welcome to TenForums @Biiomage

    I'm confused, are you asking about buying a new PC, or just a retail copy of Windows 10?

    If you buy a new PC it may not come with a DVD drive, particularly if it is a laptop. You could add a USB DVD drive if you need one. Windows 10 will be able to use it.

    If you install Windows 10 on a PC that has a DVD drive then you will be able to use the DVD for storage, even if you installed Windows 10 from a USB.

    Yes it sure sounds like Biiomage is going to get a new computer. To Biiomage, not every new computer comes with a DVD drive so you might need to buy a couple of USB sticks along with your new computer.
