    I have tried this on Sandisk USB 128GB USB 3.0 to Macbook Air, and it works well. There are some warnings while running on rufus that the windows may freeze or something, but i jusk click ok to all. Till now there's no windows freeze and no error at all even installing big softwares. Thank You !

      hey Shelli Yanti Arini....even I have did the same thing on san disk usb(the ultra fit version) 3.0 128 gb to MacBook Air. in the first two days I installed games upto 80 gb on the usb and the first two days it worked perfectly well and so smooth with awesome graphics. but from the 3rd day the windows started to become so laggy and choppy that I after I click on the start button it responds to me after 5 to 10 secs later. I played pubg mobile using Tencent gaming buddy and I got 60 fps on the the first 2 days but became so glitchy and choppy and full of lags later on. can u please help me figure it out me?and also tell your experience with it and how it worked for you well or went on being laggy as mine?thanking you,
      Mani Anurag.

    Catalina users or for people running a newer MBP with the Apple T2 Security Chip you will need to go into the Startup Utility in order to allow booting from an external drive.
    1. Hold down Command-R
    2. Click on your Account, you will then be prompted for your password.
    3. On the top bar you will are Utilities select Startup Security Utility
    4. Select No Security & Allow booting from external media
    Hope it helps mitigate some frustration!!
    Great video, easy to follow and works to perfection.

    Thanks, I had a few troubles but figured it out. If you're doing this in 2019, you need to change the scheme from GPT to MBR. The updated Rufus automatically sets it to GUI.

    Thanks so much for this really great, clearly presented information. I installed Win 10 Pro on a Samsung T5 250Gb SSD for use with my late 2011 iMac, using windows bootcamp that was already installed on the iMac hard drive for the Windows PC part. All went quickly and without any hitches. The new Win 10 install on the SSD automatically activated. I can’t remember ever doing a Windows install that went as smoothly. Needless to say I now subscribe to your channel.

      I can answer the question by my self I think
      after some trail and error....and some research on the web
      "if the partition is on the same disk as system"
      I think for windows you may not format to other
      I've tried many times, after finish installing Windows to Go and bootcamp driver done
      I partition(still NTFS) the SSD, it still works
      but if I format it to exFat, then while holding Option on booting, I can no longer see my EFIboot
      SO.... I still partition my SSD
      But....Leave it as NTFS, then I bought NTFS for MAC
      it works fine now :)

    • @p910115
      @p910115 8 лет назад +1

      Yes, Just like what I mentioned above,
      You can make partition by using other app like partition master or something else.
      But... the partition can only be NTFS,
      I've tried to partition to exFat, and that end up I can't boot up windows
      (there's no EFI boot partition while holding option on startup)
      I've tried several time, all end up the same situation.
      SO.... I still partition my SSD
      But....Leave it as NTFS, then I bought NTFS for MAC

I was sucessful once but recently wasnt able to make it work. This worked great for me.. I want to add a couple things.. My computer is a 2016 MBP non touchbar base model, I used a 120gb sandisk ssd in a cheap sabrent usb3 enclosure running through a aukey usb3 to usbc adapter... Worked flawless. Also a usb keyboard isnt necessary as I used to on screen keyboard to setup windows in ease of access in bottom left when typing is required. Thanks again!

But i think the viewers get so much more from your videos its so easy to understand that anyone will get it. i usualy just watch the start to see the direction/tools they use and work it out from there but i stayed for your whole video as i was interested in your thoughts.

    As far I can see you have installed win 10 on external SSD that's fine, but that's not what "Windows To Go" stands for.

    Microsoft should really change there license policies, and make WinToGo available for consumers

      @mumblic 8 лет назад +2

      That's what I'm wondering. Is it just a license issue?
      Could you do a test for me: Remove the SSD while running Win10. A true WinToGo installation should halt Itself and resume after reinserted without any problems.
      There are also other specific features like no acces to local HDD, no acces windows store (by default),etc.
      Those are the visible ones. Not sure what's different under the hood.
      Maybe I'm wrong but my gut feeling tells that you need a true Enterprise License + maybe Enterprise ISO.

    This worked great for me with one modification. Late 2016 MacBook Pro 13" non-touch bar (i5, 8GB, 256GB). I actually used the exact same portable SSD - PNY Elite 480GB. I watched many videos about how to do this. This is the best one in my opinion. I did watch this video a few times and then made notes. I read a lot of the comments below and picked up on one by "Jeanlain p" to select GPT instead of MBR as this person indicated it allowed them to update Windows - something that many others mentioned they could not do. Also, choosing NTFS in Rufus rather than other file system choices. NTFS was shown as selected on your screen but you didn't mention that choice and it is NOT the default selection when Rufus first opens. This may not be apparent for some. Anyway, I installed Windows 10 Pro and successfully activated it with one of my unused Windows 8 Pro keys. I applied all the Apple Software updates first, then any available Windows Updates. This is really fantastic. Thanks so much! EDIT: oh yeah, I typed all this up while in my new Windows 10 Pro installation. :-)

    I followed all the advices you mentioned with my Sandisk Extreme 500. However when I tried to use rufus, it was saying that ''you are trying to install windows to go but your target drive doesn't have the fixed attribute want to proceed'' and when I continue nothing happened. But then I figured AOMEI Partition Assistant which perfectly creates Windows to Go installer disk with install.wim.
    So I can recommend to users here, if you have trouble with rufus try AOMEI Partition Assistant.
    Here is another thing I did whole steps virtual machine without using another PC. So you dont need another computer. May be thats why rufus did not work, I dont know. But you can do it without another pc, AOMEI Partition Assistant perfectly creates windows to go bootable install disk. But you will definitely need pc compatible keyboard and mouse for sure.

    Lon.tv Thank you very much!
    For those guys using LaCie ssd with thunderbolt and usb 3.0 and MacBook Pro 13'' :
    It works cool! BUT: do everything as on the video using usb cable, only after that boot your LaCie external ssd drive with Windows 10 using again usb cable and download drivers for thunderbolt inside that windows(drivers are provided at LaCie's website). Then you can reboot your mac and boot your external ssd with windows using thunderbolt cable.
    Also, you can use already installed bootcamp windows inside your mac instead of additional PC - in that case after doing all of the above steps, delete your bootcamp windows on mac and reboot your mac, now pressing the option key(or alt key at EU keyboard) you will see separate "disks" icons Windows and External - instead of pressing external ssd icon, press just windows disk icon - it will boot windows on your LaCie external ssd. If you press external ssd icon, it will give you just the "preparing automatic repair" error message.
    Hope it helped :-) At least it worked on my mac that way :-)

    Hey Lon, if you sign in with your Microsoft account, Microsoft will keep your Windows activate as a digital key. When you have a new computer, just sign in to you Microsoft account, and you computer will be activate. The key will work on any computer, but you have to buy the key on your own Microsoft account. You do not need to remember the key, just sign in to the Microsoft account that you bought the key from, and you have a key.

    Bought a Samsung T3, really nice drive, very fast. I also tried all of this, works perfectly with almost no noticeable bottleneck. I ALSO tried to run my T3 drive with VMware fusion, as a bootcamp vm. And it suprises me that VMware automatically adds the drive, with no errors. So now I have a fast dedicated bootcamp/vm drive for my macbook, usb C :D

      @EdvardHansson 8 лет назад

      Yes! No problems at all, It even added it in the VMware fusion list with the correct drive mounting path.
      With this, there is no need to take up 100Gb of precious space on the internal SSD. Just use the T3 when needed.

    This was a the best tutorial i found, much love from Korea for putting this together. This worked liked a charm on my late 2013 imac with a sony 256g external ssd.
    However for the love of god I can't find a way to put OSX Sierra on it. I have an imac but unfortunately its a sata3 HDD and it is slow as a cow. Hence, why I wanted to put Sierra on it, I partitioned the external SSD as a Mac Journal format, but can't put as it doesnt use a partition guid table scheme. How can I make the partition I want to be a partition guid table scheme?
    Thanks for all the help!
