Clean install? Been there, done that, love it. The media sold to me by Best Buy is a USB thumb drive, not a disc. Both 32 and 64 bit versions are included and it is a full install. A single caveat here is your target PC must be able to boot from a USB port. Most newer machines will do this, but you should access the machine's BIOS and verify this is a boot option, if you are unsure. OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) versions I have looked at are either 32 or 64 bit, but not both. While slightly cheaper, I believe the license for an OEM version specifically prohibits re-installation on another (different) PC should the original PC fail beyond reasonable repair or you replaced it for whatever reason. As I recall from reading Microsoft's Windows 10 literature, you will not have a DVD player when the installation is completed. My understanding that would only occur if you were upgrading from 7 or 8, in which case the old player might be "saved". The "work-around" recommendation is to download the free program VLC, which, IMHO, is a much better alternative to Window's Media Player, primarily because of its versatility, regardless of the OS you have. Apologies for the wordy reply but I believe one needs to know what those hard-earned dollars are getting you.

Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.The retail windows 10 license sold in stores is not a disc. It's packaged with a flash usb drive. Unless you have a really old computer you should be able to use the usb drive. It's much much faster. If you need a disc then i suggest you purchase the disc online or just buy a license from microsoft and download the ISO windows 10 home from microsoft and burn your own disc.
