You can see the *potential* problem here. Hard disks are normally not a problem, though eventually too many hard disk swaps *might* trigger deactivation, & while Win10 even accepted a new CPU without deactivating, a new network adapter MAC address is a known no-no, e.g. You're permitted an unknown number of *mostly minor* hardware changes before Windows deactivates. Windows collects various hardware IDs, which Microsoft uses in some secret way to determine if your Windows license is valid. The original tool to create Win 2 Go drives Only accepted Win10 Enterprise ISOs. When Microsoft came up with Windows to Go it was designed as a corporate tool, with Win10 Enterprise signing in to the corporate licensing server(s) every time it ran to establish & maintain activation. I had an earlier version of WinToUSB Professionall installed, and this one used that existing activation key. The registry gets an uninstall key, and a key for the app when you register it. If you install it in 64-bit Windows, the files in 圆4 are copied to the bin folder & used. That folder include 圆4 & x86 folders, each with the main files for the 64-bit & 32-bit versions respectively. WinToUSB Professionall itself is a small app that only installs to the program's folder. You can Google to get more info on the devices you use, but in the end you might just have to try creating a USB stick/drive one way, see if it works, and if not, try again using different options.

Long story short, there's no one guaranteed successful way to configure the drive or the boot files, so like Rufus etc., WinToUSB Professionall gives you choices - there's no way around that.

Older devices use a legacy BIOS - current devices use UEFI - many UEFI BIOS can emulate a Legacy BIOS - a UEFI BIOS may have certain triggers that automatically cause a switch to Legacy BIOS emulation. More than a few times I've talked about the difficulties booting USB drives. for Win10, an app called Ventoy *might* be quicker / easier, letting you use an ISO as-is rather than copying the individual files in that ISO. For that last option, creating a bootable Windows setup USB stick, to use for installing Windows fresh, it appears that it can modify a Win11 setup to ignore Microsoft's hardware requirements, same as AOMEI's Win11Builder, though this is based on an included file, and not anything I saw documented. esd image file for a Windows to Go drive, or copy the files currently used by an installed copy of Windows for a Win2Go drive, or copy the files in an ISO for a Windows setup USB stick/drive. It will format a USB stick for booting, and either copy the needed Windows files from a. This is an alternative to Rufus, AOMEI's competing apps & similar.
