A Guide to Creating a Portable Windows 10 Environment with Windows To Go

Microsoft has released the guide to Creating a Portable Windows 10 Environment with Windows To Go. This guide shows you how to create a Windows To Go workspace. This 9 pages guide is available in MS Word (.docx) format only.

Overview
You can create a Windows To Go workspace to boot a portable and managed Windows 10 system. For example, you might want to provide a company-owned Windows To Go workspace to staff members who use their own non-domain-joined computer at work. The Windows To Go workspace provides a domain-joined computer experience for these users without modifying their personal consumer devices. As another example, you could create a Windows To Go workspace for yourself to use on a home computer that might still be running Windows 7.

You can use a Windows To Go workspace as you would any desktop, laptop, or tablet computer. For example, you can:
  • Join a corporate domain.
  • Connect to the corporate network from a remote site using VPN.
  • Install applications.
  • Access USB devices (such as a smart card reader) attached to the host.

A Windows To Go workspace works with any host computer (desktop, laptop, or tablet PC) that supports the Boot To USB Hard Disk Drive startup option. When you connect a Windows To Go workspace to a USB port on a host computer, the workspace is isolated from the host system’s hard drive so the hard drive can’t be compromised or infected. The user can switch between the Windows To Go workspace and the host hard drive at any time by inserting or removing the Windows To Go workspace during a system restart.

Note: You can use the same methods to create a Windows To Go workspace to boot a portable and managed Windows 8.x system or a managed or unmanaged Windows 7 system.
