It Depends What You Want To Upgrade, If you wanted to upgrade from say windows vista to windows 7 then YES you would need a disk, however if you were downloading the software to upgrade then you could put it onto a USB flash drive and install that way, some OS Like LINUX provide a installer which you can download from their website

you cannot upgrade from win95 directly to xp without a fresh install, if you have purchased an upgrade disc, you need windows 98 or newer.
