Yes, you can get Win 10 on USB or as a direct download or as an upgrade

The download file lets you make a DVD or USB yourself, which ever is helpful to you.

Windows and Mac OS if bought from a box store or online will be a DVD unless otherwise stated in the description. You can buy digital versions that you can burn to a dvd or put on a USB stick. USB sticks have to be properly formatted for the OS you choose. Just remember, anything listed dirt cheap is probably to good to be true and you will probably get shafted.
