is it possible to install windows 11 on usb stick?

so, two problems in one...

i had a failed WintoUSB process that i cancelled.

on the machine that was running it, i now have a 'clone' of the usb drive that isn't there.  (i ejected/removed the usb.)

on the usb itself, it has some directories on it... but they are all 'read only' and have lock icons on them.  i tried to use this usb to transfer a file to another machine, but when i got to the other machine, it kept telling me i wasn't allowed to look at the file, that it had a different owner, blah blah blah.  i tried to follow the steps to change the owner, but failed.

so...

1:  how do i eject/unmount the 'virtual' usb drive wintousb created?

2: how do i undo the 'ownership' of the actual usb drive that wintousb locked ownership of?   (besides reformatting?  or is that it?)


thanks a bunch!

My pc used to "go to sleep" without any issue.
latly ive install my windows on protable ssd drive, and since then "Sleep" is shutting down pc.
the option "sleep" is visible but it's actually shutting down the pc.

BTW: when i restart my pc through the internal drive (m.2 drive which is on motherboard) sleep mode is possible.
both win versions are 20H2

Is there anyway to put pc on sleep mode while windows is running on usb ssd?

i followed these instructions but it did nothing:

Can I safely reduce partition size for WinToUSB (Windows 10) using GParted or Win 10 Disk Management without affecting bootability?

I installed Windows 10 on an external SSD and after doing the installation I made a partition.
I had to reinstall Windows 10 on the same SSD but WinToUsb didn't give me the chance
of choosing the partition and therefore I lost what I had in the partition.
I ask, is there the possibility to do the reinstallation without losing the partition?
Thank you very much indeed.

If I create an ISO image of my existing Windows 10 WinToUSB disk can I boot to this from a multiboot setup such as YUMI?

I've Lenovo Thinkpad 11 generation which I bought recently got infected by ransomware while working on my project of Online Latest Jobs Updates in the USA & unfortunately it only has one disk partition in the form of C drive due to this I lost all my data while reinstalling windows OS and also forgot to make multiple partitions during installation. Now is there any way to create partitions without reinstalling windows OS as I want to keep my files in a separate drive from the partition which contains Windows OS?

I have a blank SATA 2.5 inch laptop internal hard drive and I want to make it Windows to Go. I have made it external USB drive by using a hard drive USB enclosure/caddy. I have tried all methods to make it Windows to Go but after everything (installation/making phase) completed, it failed to boot/run windows. I have already tried "USB Flash Drive" method and "External Drive" method and "Internal Drive" method (after creating System and Boot partitions) 100 times but nothing worked. Installation got completed 100% but unable to boot/run windows from same drive.



What is the step by step process ..i.e. .how to format.. how to install.. how to run. Thanks in advance.

Hello,
I created a win2go on a 64GB stick - it tries to boot but shows the rotating circle forever. Guess the reason may be that empty space on that stick is ~900MB.

I tried to clean up the source installation as much as possible, now it holds ~58GB, and I do not have any good idea on my hand how to further delete files or apps, which still are needed in the source installation.

How can I deselect unwanted files or apps to be copied to the win2go stick?
Or what else could I do to reduce the amount?

Thanks a lot in advance,
Oswaldpu

Hello,
