Windows To Go
Stephen G. Lewis · 2015
Windows To Go (WTG) is an oft-overlooked feature first included with Windows 8 Enterprise Edition. WTG allows for the effortless creation of portable USB-based Windows 8 (and later) operating system instances. WTG is not a stripped-down version of Windows; it is a full Windows operating system, indistinguishable from a conventional installation. Unlike traditional portable operating systems such as Windows PE, WTG offers a fully-functional yet persistent environment. WTG instances can be joined to an Active Directory domain, be managed using Group Policy, accommodate the installation of most software, and retain individual user profiles.
