[Intro]
Windows on a USB
No, I will not record Windows Installer here to a USB flash drive. I want to record a complete working system, which will run and work from a flash drive But how will it work?...
Let's get a look :)
First, we need the WinToUSB program
Let's launch and wait
Here we are asked to select an ISO file with the system that we will put on a USB flash drive. I will choose Windows 7
And I will choose the Home Basic edition
And here we select our USB stick. Hard drives will not be displayed in this list, only flash drives :)
We format this flash drive
Here, just select the section and click "Next"
And the installation will take a long time (depending on the speed of the flash drive)
After a long time, everything finally ended
And there are indeed Windows files on the flash drive
Even the bootloader is done, which is good
And now it's time to test it all on a real PC
We turn on the PC and start from the flash drive
And, it starts, which is already great
Now the second stage of installation has gone, but from a USB flash drive And it seems to be long :(
Services on the system are started first
And after that, the devices are installed (it took me a very long time)
And finally I waited for the settings window
Everything here is already familiar and clear
Judging by the execution time of the action, we can conclude that Windows does not work very quickly from a USB flash drive :(
After a long trial test, I can now show how this system works in general.
She works slowly
Just one click with the right mouse button on the section of what costs :D
But I still assume that Windows is slow only because of the speed of my flash drive
As for me, it's cool to have a full-fledged Windows on a USB flash drive :)
All standard applications work as usual
[Windows 7 Home Basic logo]
Only the Start menu slows down in some moments
So, what is the conclusions from of all this?
Windows 7 can be easily installed on a USB flash drive (and not only 7, you can still 8.1 and higher)
And it will work there, albeit slowly (but it looks like this is due to the speed of my flash drive, which I have already written about more than once)
I decided to do this just purely for the sake of experiment. Whether to put this on your own flash drive or not is up to you :)
And that's all. See you later ;)
