What method to install Parallels in the new non CD/DVD world

I'm happily running Parallels 12 on my MacBook Air through an upgrade download. In the past, all my Parallels installations were via CD/DVD. All upgrades were via a download option.
I'm thinking of getting a new MacBook and wondering how I will put Windows on it? I have a iMac with a bootcamp installation. From what I see in the market place, all Parallels 12 are now download versions. Is that correct?
I'm presently using Windows 10, the free upgrade offer of last year. Since I don't have a CD/DVD copy, I assume I'll have to download Win10 as well. Sure wish we were in the old world of yesteryear when we had a CD/DVD to use if we needed to reinstall Parallels or Windows on a new computer.

,Should I blame Steve Jobs for doing away with DVD drives?
