Hello,

I want to use WinToUSB to install a fresh Windows (Windows 10 Education 64 Bit) on my USB flash drive and to be able to upgrade this Windows installation with Windows To Go Upgrader. What are the required size of the USB flash drive? Are 32 GB sufficient? I would use the "clean up system files" feature of Windows before upgrading, because I know Windows needs a lot of disk space for temporary files.

Thanks in advance.

Hello,
I have setup Windows USB.
I have now 2 drives one is called c: and the second one is D: which contains the Win2USB.VHDS file.
I also setup Bitlocker (in case I lose the USB stick) .
My question is this:
is the VHDS file encrypted?
When I go to Bitlocker manager is tells me that C: is encrypted but d: is not.
Can anyone explain it to me?
Thanks

Hi guys,

I'm looking to just install a Windows 10 Home edition on a USB Thumb Drive. I used a 16GB USB Thumb Drive but got the error that it doesn't have enough storage, the usable storage on the drive is 15.1GB though. In this case how much storage do I need on the USB Thumb Drive to just install a Windows 10 Home edition? 32GB?

Hello,
  I successfully created a Win 10 1809 WinToUSB drive a few months ago.
I'm having problems installing monthly security cumulative updates through
Windows Update. Is it possible to complete such an update? Other monthly
updates complete successfully in Windows Update.

 I've posted on the Microsoft Community without a worthy reply. When faced
with questions on monthly updates, the MVPs almost always recommend a
feature upgrade rather than diagnosing any error code. As you know a
Windows To Go upgrade can't be completed (at least not without your
Upgrader software). I've run through a set of online Microsoft Windows Update
Fix suggestions. None of them succeeded. I always receive a 80070157 error code
from Windows Update. Is anyone an expert error code interpreter?

 I also read Microsoft blocked updates for people with USB drives starting in May.
I still receive the same error code now in July. Before I consider purchasing
your Upgrader software, I would like to know definitively whether monthly
security cumulative updates are possible to complete!
Thanks

Hello

I have the following problem.
I Want to install Windows 10 version 1903 from iso to my external SSD Samsung X5 but
WinToSB doesn't see it.
I have tried to reformat ssd, re-creating the partition etc, but nothing helps.
What i can do ?
I would be grateful for any advice and help.

Background: I'm booted onto my PC with my Windows to Go Drive. My PC has a local install of windows on it's HDD which I'm trying to create a VHDx of. 
Using WinToUSB Version 4.9 Build May 27 2019

I've used Disk2vhd to create a Vhdx file of 

• Disk 0 - All partitions 
  

• Disk 0 - Just the Windows partition
  

Hi all,
I tried to fresh install win10 to an external 1tb HDD but it asks to format the the drive. unfortunately i have filled it. and only about 200 GB is free space now. which is more than enough for a windows installation. i can't move or delete those files as i don't have any other storage option. is there any way to install into that free space without wiping / formatting the whole drive? I will follow any step by step instructions. thanks in advance.

Windows 1903 is released.

When the WinToUSB will support it ?

I bought a new PC and of course I now want to have a WinToUSB clone made from the new one. How do I transfer the license from the old PC to the new one?

Been working on this all day. I got Win10 from the store on a Microsoft USB drive. I found the SWM files in the x64/sources directory figuring I wanted the 64-bit version of Home. For the life of me it wouldn’t install using paid version 4.8.

I decided to try the install.swm file in the x86/sources directory. It is installing now, but “stuck” at 0%. Not sure if it is really stuck. Will give it time.

I will send logs if this doesn’t work. Just wondering what the diff between the x64 and x86 versions.

(Edit)

Well, I have Win7 64-bit installed. The difference is one is 64-bit and the other is 32-bit. Only have 4GB of RAM so the 32-bit Win10 should be OK.

Spinny circle still at 0%.

(Edit)

Circle still at 0% but drive is filling up...went from 164MB used to 260something. Something is happening. It is usb 2.0 on an older laptop. Sooooo..plus the usb drive I am installing on is probably not ideal. I read something about 4K read/write times.

(Edit)

Just as I posted last edit, it flipped to 1% then 2 then 5.
