In the beginning, we list three scenarios that may require a Windows 11 portable USB drive, which is using a special way to clone a Windows 11 computer to a removable disk like a tiny USB flash drive or a bigger external HDD/SSD.
Scenario #1.Installing Windows 11 on a computer is full of challenges. Despite that Microsoft offers users Windows 11 free upgrade from Windows 10 by joining in the Windows Insider Program, it requires a minimum hardware requirement like UEFI secure boot, TPM 2.0, and at least 64GB free space on your system drive. It sounds impossible for old devices to get the new upgrade, right? Things can be totally different if you got a Windows 11 portable USB drive because you can run Windows 11 from the bootable drive on any of your lower-configured devices.
Scenario #2.You work with a Windows 11 desktop in the office, but a Windows 10 laptop at home. Can you use the office computer's operating system on the home laptop? Yes, you can if you create a bootable USB drive for the office computer's operating system along with the installed programs and working materials.
Scenario #3.When you try to replace a Windows PC with a Mac, you want to continue playing Windows games on Mac without reinstalling. You can try to play games on Mac by cloning the Windows computer games to a USB drive, or an SSD for better gaming performance.
