    I think this has come around at a good time, perhaps a little overdue actually, since most motherboards seem to support this now. That said the price premium is indeed odd, so I'll be sticking to making my own bootable USBs via Rufus thanks.

    With USB installation, the win 10 licensing could also be stored within the memory stick requiring it to be permanently plugged in.

    Doubt Microsoft would ever do that for Laptop's sake, those things have few enough ports as is.

    As an option it is a welcome one, and way overdue but that price hike does seem steep.

    WTB payment plans to pay for OSes. Some of us can't afford to shell out $144 to $238 all at once just for the backbone that allows us to be creative and play games and so on with pcs. Seriously can we get 6 month to 12 month payment plans and no don't charge people more for buying it that way.
