![]() There are several 3'rd party utilities to create W2go or use this link: Why not create a windows to go machine and avoid the extra layers? Start with some Live distro which you can then install to the external device using the generally built in graphical (GUI) install fscltp Install theLinux system totally to the external device (including its bootloader) so your main Windows HOST boot isn't messed up at all. ![]() To me this is a GENUINE portable solution as you can just plug the device into any machine, boot it and run your Windows VM without problems of "re-activation" when moving a VM on to a different machine. (Of course you can also experiment with a Windows VM running under QEMU/KVM on this type of system - Virtual Machines created by VMWARE, VBOX and KVM can all run concurrently). ![]() Ensure package ntfs-3g is installed (it usually is these days by default) so you can read / write NTFS files from Linux host. Runs samba too so you've got full shareability to devices on your HOST machine plus the rest of any LAN you have. If you are not familiar with Linux, Linux Mint is pretty OK and "Windows like" or there's loads of documentation of UBUNTU. The whole thing boots totally from the external SSD, the Windows response time as a VM is pretty good for even quite modest machines (and the VM itself can be copied if required to other WINDOWS HOSTS). The best way IMO for a truely Portable no risk way here is to install either VBOX or VMWare on to a LINUX system that you can boot from an external SSD (connected to machine via a SATA->USB3 / 3.1 /USB-C connector and install Windows as VM on that device.
