How to Run Windows 10 on a USB Flash Drive

Thank you my new friend to nadia&tech 3040

Windows pro does not work sadly

118 Thumbs down

i like your background pic what site do you download it from

Hi Britec09 what is the minimum size of the USB?

My old netbook was running at a crawl with Windows 10 bloatware os. I reinstalled Windows 7 and the increase in speed is vastly different to Windows 10. However my external harddrive would not allow the transfer of files to it. I tried to resolve the issue with no luck. I installed Windows 10 on 128GB flashdrive to transfer files. This works very well for me.

How Much Space Does A USB Need Cause I Have A 15GB USB and its saying insignificant Space

what size should the usb be?

I created custum window 10 with just 1.2gb size, install on Kingston 16gb pendrive using Rufus,, now seriously it's very fast. 😲

I did try it out it worked perfectly.. but i would prefer ssd or 32gb and up flash drive.. hdd worked but very slow.. and i often get windows error after restarting it..

Win10 Pro not supported with free. 16gb USB was not big enough.
Terrible tutorial. Nothing works.

Hi i have had this working fine but is there a way to upgrade to Win11 and keeping your files etc intact?

how do i get the windows iso cause i can"t find it

Useful...

Works on a laptop with bios 1.0.0 ???

I gotta ask did it take you to load 2 hours for me is still no in win 10 still on the screen getting ready for 2 hours and the circle on spinning need help

It took 2 hours to find one and this helped. Thanks

Hi, once downloaded onto an external USB, do you have to change the bios configuration to run it, can't you just choose the usb drive from the pc?

when i used microsoft website to try and download .iso file first had to enter my 25 digit key number but even after that it stated ...purchased computer with windows already installed...blah...blah... or something to that effect. anyway would not let me do it. Anyway if one does find a way to download the .iso file and then use that software to put it on usb then it should also run on a computer with no hard drive at all? Also can't one just as easily use Rufus or macrium or Yumi to do the same thing?

But take longer in the boot and install

hey, @Britec09 , will this work on any device that has a USB port?

its just stock on 0% what should I do?

is this possible with a mac?

how can i exit the windows 10 in usb flash drive?

after installing windows in USB can I use it like normal USB for transferring files .

could i install windows and boot it on my external SSD to make it faster than my HDD??? Currently Windows is on my HDD not my SSD

thank you very much, i've been looking for this for hours now

is that gary?

So where we use this method .You know it cannot recovery , unlock password , etc.
So where we use this .Please tell me I really don't know. Thanks for this video.

what if we want to access internal hdd from portable usb window ? as shown in the video, there is only one drive showing in my computer, that is itself usb. how can we access hdd from it ?

i booted it in legacy mode but i waited 1h+ and it booted back to my main drive instead

What i want to do is this: I have a older build of Windows 10 on a Toshiba flash drive. I want to get an Toshiba external hard drive to keep plugged into my computer by USB and i would like to place Windows 10 onto it from the flash drive and run my Windows 10 system from it too. Could you do a video on this?

Is it supposed to just jump from 0 to 100 at one point? Cuz mine hasn't moved from 0

wait where do i get that win10 iso from?

Does the computer run faster than on HDD when surfing?
I’ve seen XTRA-PC commercial which same to work on USB flash drive.

The version of Free that I downloaded and installed has different rules for what constitutes 'free' than what you show that was from their web site as well

invalid file system error after I select Windows 10 Home because the 10 Pro version is locked out in the free version

I have a doubt I have a normal iso file download from Microsoft official website. Is it suitable for this method?

Thank you Sir very much for the video's tutorial :(

didnt work

Is usb 2.0 sufficient to runn windows

after going through downloading programs, ISO, etc when trying to run Free Ver WinToUSB I get error Free Trial Version doesn't support Win Enterprise....
Wish this was mention in the beginning before wasting all this time.... Free ver is Non-commercial use ONLY

"It's not the fastest thing in the world..."
It's faster than my laptop :'(

Thanks a lot, man.

I get an error a bit way through. Says cant write to destination. Tried 2 different 64gb cards

stuck on 0%

Anyone know how I can do this from Linux?

didnt work
