Nevertheless, with a direct sales process will be accelerated.
The more traditional DVD installation of Windows 10 has the same white box, but the logo is transformed into a screen shot of a typical desktop computer. The most notable change for the new Windows operating system compared to 8 is the return of the Start menu and the classic desktop interface. So it makes sense to highlight these features on the front of the box in order to attract new users who have moved away from Windows after the arrival of the Metro UI interface of Windows 8. It also appears that there is a purple version of the Hero wallpaper for Pro users.

If this is the case for you, the upgrade will happen via a download from Windows Update, like any other updated operating system.
