Flash drive performance gonna be abysmal. If you want to try it on day I suggest a dedicated external SSD connected via USB 3 atleast

Ok will check wine db

Thanks yes trying wine or winboat is my last option

Have you ever tried running Solidworks or Fusion 360 or Ansys or other Autodesk software in a vm? Painful is all I can say

Thanks I know I can’t use it on multiple hardware. I plan to use it with a single laptop

Thanks I know there is wintousb software but it is also Windows specific I don’t have Windows around to use it

You sure WintoUSB is not Windows specific software?

Thanks Yes this is what I was thinking to try next if I run out of options

No I read that it won’t work

Yes I will update the grub for ease of use but first I need to get windows to boot when I choose it in BIOS boot menu

Thanks but I should have mentioned It is a laptop I’m talking about here. If it was a PC there would be options like the adapter you mentioned

Fixed it

Interesting but it seems to be only for Linux

I tried but it does not boot from it when I put it back. It should be Windows to go

At first I thought about this too. Didn’t work with either Windows 10 or 11 iso. It didn’t boot after I took it out and put in the enclosure

Unfortunately not everything works in a VM

No I don’t want to make a bootable USB already have a Ventoy USB drive for that. in Windows With Rufus or win to USB you can install an Windows iso as “Windows To Go” to a external drive (can be a thumb drive or better an SSD) and then boot from that drive and have functioning Windows installation on it which is also kinda portable too

Edit: typo

What is their recommended way?

Edited the post with the best available solution

Thanks just what I needed
