Windows 11 is here, offering a safer operating system with UEFI secure boot and TPM 2.0 chip adoption. However, it requires higher computer hardware, but you can still run it on unsupported hardware with technical skills or by copying the installed Windows 11 to a portable USB drive. This portable USB drive can work on any device, making it a convenient and portable option to take anywhere in your pocket or bag.
Windows operating system installation files contain configuration data and setup files, but some system data is protected and cannot be copied or modified.
To ensure a Windows system is bootable on other PCs, rely on software that can migrate all system data and files to an external device, such as a USB drive. Qiling OS2Go is a software that clones a Windows OS drive to an external USB drive.
For average Windows users, the main reasons to choose a third-party program to help manage their Windows operating system job are ease of use and efficiency.
Based on the essential requirements, Qiling Disk Master can do more work than you think, including various tasks such as file system analysis, disk partitioning, and file recovery, among others.
Step 1. To start, install Qiling OS2Go on your Windows computer, which will display the used space on your system drive. Next, plug in a USB drive that is larger than the system drive's used space, then choose the target USB drive and click Next to continue.
Step 2. Qiling OS2Go will notify you that the following operation would delete all data on your drive. Make sure you have backed up all important data, then click Continue to proceed.
Step 3.Adjust the disk layout by selecting the same layout as the resource drive or editing it to your needs, and if using a Solid State Drive, tick the option to use it as the Windows bootable drive, then click Proceed.
Step 4.Qiling OS2Go will create a portable USB drive, which may take a while depending on the OS and network condition. Once the progress reaches 100%, the USB drive will be bootable.
Step 5. To install Windows on a new computer, start by inserting the portable Windows USB drive and powering on your computer. Then, press the designated key (usually F2, DEL, or F10) to access the BIOS settings. From there, select the option to boot from the USB drive, and follow the on-screen instructions to complete the installation.
Note: Make sure the boot mode of the portable USB and the target computer are the same (UEFI or Legacy) to avoid booting issues.
