Windows To Go
What is Windows To Go is a feature in Windows 8.1 Enterprise, Windows 8 Enterprise, Windows 10 Enterprise, and Windows 10 Education that allows them to boot and run from certain USB mass storage devices such as USB flash drives and external hard disk drives which have been certified by Microsoft as compatible.

The Windows To Go system allows you to create a bootable USB flash drive containing your copy of the Windows 8, Windows 8.1 or Windows 10 with its software and settings. It is compatible with both USB 2.0 and USB 3.0 drives, and on BIOS and UEFI motherboards.

No longer will people have to worry about finding mobile versions of apps, or using cloud services. With Windows To Go, you really can carry around your entire Windows installation, safely and securely.


As a safety measure designed to prevent data loss, Windows pauses the entire system if the USB drive is removed, and resumes operation immediately when the drive is inserted within 60 seconds of removal. If the drive is not inserted in that time-frame, the computer shuts down after those 60 seconds to prevent possible confidential or sensitive information being displayed on the screen or stored in RAM. It is also possible to encrypt a Windows To Go drive using BitLocker.
