![]() In addition to Opera, I was running Chrome with about 20 tabs open and Firefox with a dozen tabs open, along with Bitdefender antivirus. For instance, I was writing these words in the Opera browser, on a Windows 10 system running from a 64GB Samsung MUF-64AB/AM FIT Plus USB drive that was now available for $17, plugged into a USB 2.0 (not 3.0) port on the front of my relatively powerful desktop computer. With a reasonably capable USB drive and a strong computer, performance may not be an issue. Linux bootable USB tools might not be able to access files that were encrypted using Windows-only tools, or to run Windows software that could work with files on that machine without moving them elsewhere. Sometimes the easiest if not the only way to access that data might be to boot that computer using an OS on a USB drive. It might be inconvenient if not impossible to remove that data drive and connect it to another computer. A hard disk (HDD) or solid-state drive (SSD) in a computer without an operating system (OS), or whose OS was not working properly, might contain important data.Thus, sometimes I preferred to run my desktop computer’s Windows 10 installation on my laptop via a WTG USB drive, even though the laptop had its own Win10 installation mounted on a fast internal solid state drive, just because the desktop installation was more fully configured and thus more useful for my purposes. Windows To Go (WTG) offered the potential of cloning your perfect configuration to a USB drive that would run it immediately on any compatible machine. When Windows was configured to a user’s preferences, it would be a waste of time and effort to go through the same steps all over again, to install and configure it on another computer. ![]()
