WinToHDD & WinToUSB (Windows install utilities)

[Midas]

Freeware WinToHDD (currently v1.1) & lightware WinToUSB (v2.8') are not portable per se -- although the later (first mentioned at http://www.portablefreeware.com/forums/ ... 704#p69704) can be used to create a portable Windows on a pendrive.

E.g., these utilities might prove handy in context of specialized procedures (as discussed in http://www.portablefreeware.com/forums/ ... hp?t=21885, http://www.portablefreeware.com/forums/ ... php?t=7701, and http://www.portablefreeware.com/forums/ ... hp?t=10887).

• WinToHDD is a handy and useful Windows software that allows you to install or reinstall Windows without using a CD/DVD or USB drive. With this All-in-One Windows Setup software, you can easily reinstall Windows, install Windows onto disks other than the one where your Windows operating system is installed, or clone current Windows OS installation (Windows Vista or later) to other disk.

  • 

• WinToUSB is the best free Windows To Go Creator that allows you to install and run Windows operating system on a USB hard drive or USB flash drive, using an ISO/WIM/ESD/SWM image file or CD/DVD drive as the source of installation. Starting from version 2.0, you can clone current Windows OS installation (Windows 7 or later) to a USB drive as a Windows To Go Workspace. WinToUSB also supports creating a bootable WinPE USB drive, it can help you transfer the contents of WinPE to a USB drive and make the drive bootable.

Never heard about these softwares you mentioned. What attract me is the in the WinToUSB: run Windows operating system on a USB hard drive or USB flash drive, using an ISO/WIM/ESD/SWM image file or CD/DVD drive as the source of installation. A bit like VMWare workstation 12 player does, but you need the software to run the OS. Always interested to have a distros disk for any OS. Could create a Portable USB disk with all the portable apps necessary to repair a system for example. Or a clone for emergency (disaster on system disk). Cool find, thanks Midas.

I know I am very late to answer this one, but hey I am new to this forum after all.

As today after verifying if the links still works and they do:

WinToUSB is V2.8

... to create portable Windows 10/8.1/8/7!

For advanced users, I believe RMPrepUSB (http://www.rmprepusb.com/) would be the adequate power tool -- its program site is loaded with information and tutorials.

Last I checked (over a year ago), RMPrepUSB was still not portable. Have you tested it recently?

• That's a negative, Baas, sorry. Which doesn't fully preclude its fitness to purpose, IMHO.
