Its the USB with Windows loaded on for you to install 

Posted

I'm confused about this product here:

https://www.amazon.co.uk/Windows-10-Home-32-bit-64-bit-English-International/dp/B0111YEBY4

 

I know it says USB flash drive but im not sure if it is meaning windows comes on a USB when i purchase it or if i will need a USB in order for windows to install onto my computer

 

I know this sounds like a stupid question but i would rather be safe than sorry (as i don't want to buy an Optical drive just for windows)

It's windows preloaded on a USB stick instead of a disk for those who do not have disk drives.
That's not uncommon as many people have begun to opt out of using disks.
