Part 1: Install Windows 10 onto a USB-Stick
Two years ago I installed Windows XP onto a SanDisk Cruzer Blade - but it was very, very slow - not worth it! Thought I would make a new attempt with an Extreme USB 3.0 Drive from SanDisk, and this time with Windows 10 Home edition, 64-bit.

I downloaded and installed WinToUSB from the Easy UEFI Development Team. Also created an image file from the Windows 10 installation DVD. Started the installer, pointed it to the Windows 10 ISO file, pointed it to the USB flash drive - on a USB 3.0 port of course - and okeyed to format.
Got to the screen to the right. Boot and system partition the same, Drive H: okay. Suggested installation mode
to VHDX, whereas Legacy mode was grayed out. The virtual drive alternatives give a closed file structure -
the host cannot be mounted, and the host cannot mount the USB drive. I prefer the Legacy mode, which gives
an open file structure and with mutual mounting possible.
The Easy UEFI Development Team claims that the Legacy mode may not work properly and that the VHD/VHDX mode has
the best compatibility, so they have disabled the Legacy mode by default.

At first I was unable to mount the three hard disk drives of my host PC, as they were Offline "because of a policy
set by an administrator". Right clicking for the context menu of the drive gives the option to choose Online. Another way (which I haven't tried) is to change the registry: "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Services\partmgr\Parameters" change the value "SanPolicy" to 1. |
