Money issue? Should I buy a genuine Win10 USB drive for 745 yuan?

Using a USB flash drive to install the system has become a little trick that DIYers know, and it has also become one of the most important applications and advantages of USB flash drives. Today, Microsoft directly puts the Win10 image into a USB flash drive, and pre-sales have begun on Amazon in the United States on July 15. The sales page shows that the Home Edition of the USB flash drive version of Windows 10 is priced at US$119.99 (about RMB 745), and the Professional Edition is priced at US$199.99 (about RMB 1,242). But would you buy it at this price?

Win10 operating system still has highlights

Compared with other Windows operating systems, Windows 10's return of the classic start menu (or close to it, to be precise), the addition of workspaces and multi-task switching for the traditional desktop seem to mean Microsoft's "reformation" in the hope of winning back the hearts of traditional and corporate users. On a strategic level, Windows 10 covers the entire product line, including microcomputers, mobile phones, tablets (including ARM and X86 architectures), notebooks and hybrids, desktop PCs, and servers, with specialized interface priority designs for different devices to achieve a better user experience.

Using a USB drive to install the system has always been a simple and quick way

Since the USB flash drive was found to have the function of creating a boot disk, more and more people have used it, and the operation method is relatively simple. I have also used a USB flash drive to create a Win7/Win8 system disk. All I need to do is prepare the system ISO image in advance and use a USB flash drive with a usable capacity greater than 4GB . Compared to a system CD, it does not require an optical drive (many notebooks and small hosts omit this in order to pursue ultra-thinness), and it has an advantage in speed (the faster the USB flash drive writes, the faster it can create a boot disk).

It's not about money. If you want to use it, you have to spend the money.

Like many software, the routine from free to paid, from not requiring a serial number to purchasing a genuine serial number, this time the official version of Win10 has also started. As long as you want to use it, you have to spend the money, and there is no question of whether it is expensive or not. Of course, using the genuine version can get many upgrade and update services, and it is also good to have a better guarantee on the security of system data.
