    I purchased a copy of Windows 10 on a USB thumbdrive.  I chose to have media to have (a) a backup and (b) not to have to bother with downloading a massive image.  Primarily this copy of Windows will be used in VirtualBox for testing, using Power Shell, and other tedious system administrivia.   First thing when it arrived is I used dd to make a full image of thumbdrive so I could tuck it away in a safe place.
