No, no more Windows CD (actually DVD from Windows 7 or so) comes with new machines. Your machine runs Windows 10 therefore you can creat DVD or other media yourself using
https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10
You can use media to install and W10 will install and then automatically activate once you are connected to the internet using the key embedded in BIOS of your machine.

With the newer PCs, the product key is encoded into the UEFI firmware of the motherboard and is not something you can see directly.
However, if you download and run this utility, it will retrieve that key for you and even allow you to save the decoded key to a file: Showkey - Windows 10 Forums
Good Luck
