redneck Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 I installed windows 10 on a 2.5 laptop hard drive on the Dell Laptop. activated then removed the drive from laptop !!! install the drive into a usb portable hard drive case. hit f12 at boot select usb boot > good to go ! will not update windows 10 OS, just defender and apps. I use it for personal stuff ,like banking with Quicken. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cyberdevs Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 That's something that I want to know more. It's like Ubuntu Live? look here: https://rufus.akeo.ie with Rufus you can create Windows 8/10 USB install disk with MBR or GPT partition scheme for old (BIOS) or new (UEFI) bootable disks and there is a nice feature to create Windows to Go USB disk. I'm using it for all sort of purposes like data recovery or troubleshooting PCs. As @DSOS mentioned above the best performance will be achieved using a SSD external drive or a High Speed USB 3.0 flash drive. I usually use SanDisk Ultra Flair and it works really fine with both macOS and Windows it has a 130 MB/s read performance. Cheers. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
