Using Windows To Go

Abstract

You learned what is required of the host computer, which must meet specific certification requirements for both hardware and software. You learned that processor architecture has to match between the host and the Windows to Go drive, and that limitations exist with regard to the Windows Store for Windows 8 and access to local resources (specifically the host's internal hard drive) for all operating systems. In this chapter we’ll continue along that same path, keeping a focus on the end user and getting started with Windows to Go from an end-user perspective, including what problems can arise for them. Let’s look once more at the reasons an enterprise would employ Windows to Go before we get started, and let's look at a few other ways you could use Windows to Go that you may not have thought of.
