Windows To Go

Windows To Go is a method for installing Win8 on a USB flash drive or a mobile hard disk. It can be used on multiple machines with different configurations.

Note that Windows To Go must be installed on the control panel.Win8 Enterprise EditionOther Win8 Pro and Windows 2012 Server versionsNoneThis function. It is very easy to install from the control panel.

 

If the machine is not a Win8 Enterprise Edition or Windows 7, you can still install it on a mobile device using a Win8 image.

One method is to download the Win8 Installation Tool online, but I encountered a situation where I could not identify the USB flash drive letter or failed to create the boot, so I should manually install it on the USB flash drive using the command line.

 

 

CMD command	Description
Diskpart	Go to disk management
List disk	Display disk list
Select disk #	Select a disk (# indicates the disk number (number ))
Clean	Delete disk content
Create partition primary	Create a new partition
Format fs = ntfs quick	Format partitions
Active	Active Partition
Exit	Exit diskpart
Imagex.exe/apply install. wim 1 x :\	Release 1st images to X Disk
Bcdboot x: \ windows/s x:	Write boot file on disk X

 

 

In this example, imagex.exe needs to be downloaded from the Internet, and install. wim extracts images from the Win8 iso image for a long time.
