I have been using Windows 10 To Go for more than 1 years in the company, and it's really handy, so I'm going to use it in a non work related environment. In the company, we use the Windows To Go certified drive to create Windows 10 To Go, the price of Windows To Go certified drive is a bit expensive for me. I also feel that the size of the external hard drive is a bit large, so I want to install and run Windows 10 from a USB flash drive. Is this possible? If it is then please tell me how. Thanks.
