Hello,

hello everyone
Who among you has managed to install Windows 11 on a USB key?
I have succeeded in installing Windows 7 and 10 on a USB key with the software WinSetupFromUSB-1-9

on the website of this software it says that with version WinSetupFromUSB-1-10 one can install Windows 11 on a USB key and boot the computer from it as if it were a normal hard drive.

    hello MPMP10
    thanks for your reply.. I have already passed this step.. I am looking to install Windows 11 ... on a USB key and not by using a USB key!
    I already installed W7 on a USB key with the WinSetupFromUSB software which emulates a hard drive from a simple USB key.
    note that Windows does not allow installing the system on a USB key, unlike Linux.

    Hi,

    No, Linux doesn’t allow you to "install" on a USB drive, just create a USB key as a "Live" key

    With Rufus you can create a Windows To Go key

      hello fabul
      absolutely.. Windows to Go is only possible if the operation is performed from a computer running Windows 11 (that’s what I found while looking a bit on the net).
