Running Win10 via USB

Web No Comments »

I guess I’ve as usual been slacking and not updated my blog for a while.  Busy at work, enjoying my life.  I haven’t been working on anything for a while but I did find a useful guide that hopefully some of you might find useful.

I have a laptop that I need to keep clean, I won’t go into details but the device is very locked down but is also pretty high end and would be nice to use for other computing reasons, it’s designed for 3D graphics however so locked down that I can’t install any new software on it.  I wanted to install Windows 10 on it but via bootable USB (SSD) but the standards Windows installation doesn’t allow for that, until I found the following post:

https://decryptingtechnology.blogspot.com/2015/09/install-windows-10-on-usb-external-hard.html?m=1

Yeah it’s old, a posting from 2015 but it still works thankfully.

I did have a similar problem that another person had in the comments

I can’t find the file “install.win” in sources but I find install.ESD in the CD of windows 10

however as mentioned, you can google how to convert .ESD to .WIN and continue from there, it’s another step but relatively straightforward.

At this point most of the problems I have is forcing the laptop to boot from USB, the bios on the device is finicky and often won’t boot via USB all the time, but it does work and that is more a side effect of the laptop’s bios rather than a problem with the blog posting guide.
