Boot Camp is software that enables Mac customers to install and use Windows operating system on their Apple Mac computer. When we use "Boot Camp Assistant" to install Windows to disk, Boot Camp Assistant will automatically download the corresponding version of Windows Support Software (drivers) and automatically install it into Windows, this is why Windows installed using Boot Camp Assistant works properly on Mac computer (touchpad, keyboard, network card, etc. all work properly) and users do not need to install any any hardware drivers.

However, when installing Windows to an USB drive with Hasleo WinToUSB and start it on the MAC, we will find that the touchpad, keyboard and network card are not working properly. This is because Hasleo WinToUSB is a third-party Windows application, it cannot automatically download Windows Support Software from Apple and install to Windows.
