I was using 21H2 Windows 10

that's exactly what I was searching for tysm !
btw if you install video drivers for a certain card (like idk 2080 rtx) and then switch to a pc that has another video card (like an amd radeon) can you just change the dirvers/have both drivers installed easely or do you have to deal with a black screen ?
Hello, i think it’s possible to have both AMD and Nvidia drivers side by side, windows will just use the suitable drivers depending to the graphic card.

After successful installation I get a blue screen of death on startup stating critical process died. Any thoughts? I tried reinstall a few times and installing different versions but nothing helped.
Hello, thank you for this helpful video! I have a question about the windows update, when I want to check the updates this message shows: "Your device is missing important security and quality fixes" with no error code. Do you know how I can fix it?
Will this USB work on another PC? Means can I use it on multiple PCs?
Thx very helpfull :)
Your are welcome . Please don’t forget to subscribe if you liked the the video.thanks
will this work for a mac mini late 2014? also does it require you to already have (or purchase) a valid product key? Thanks for the vid!
- Windows 10 actually allows you to continue running the "trial" version indefinitely with some restrictions (You won't be able to change your desktop background or perform other visual customizations), and you'll get a little watermark in the bottom righthand corner asking you to activate Windows, but it’s still functional.
- it works for mac mini, you need to press option key while booting your mac, and choose to boot from the external windows disk. If you find this video helpful, please dont forget to subscribe :-)
thx
Hai, want to ask someting.
I have an old all in one PC at the office, and it is really2 slow. I suspect it is because the old HDD on it.
since it is an aio PC I cannot tear down to replace the HDD with SSD.
so the plausible solution I could think of, is buying SSD and booting windows from the USB 3 it has.
my question is, will it improve the speed of the PC? or it will be the same?
I only use it for work (ms office, browser, and PDF)
thanks in advance.
Hello, for sure you will see an improvement, and the pc will boot faster.
Hey, I have a question for you:
If I use this portable enverioment on a computer that already has Windows installed on its hard drive, will hard disk data be overwritten? Or the data from the portable enverioment is stored exclusively on the external SSD?
Also, I'm using a USB stick instead of an external SSD.
I want to test it, but I'm afraid to mess up my computer that I already use.
Hello, the portable installation will not affect your existing hard drive, but you need to be careful when you select the target drive for your portable environment.please don’t forget to subscribe if you liked the video.thanks

if this works, you are a god.
please tell me if I have an external drive for 1 terabyte USB 3.0 can I also install Windows 10 on it and install games on it and play them ???
You can run any windows app, i don’t see any problem for light games, but for demanding games, that requires a dedicated powerful graphic card, it may be a different story.
I suggest you to give it a try, and let us know if it was successful.

hello, when I plug the "usb ssd" into the usb port outside the computer, does it work as fast as normal ssd hard drives?
Hello, it’s depend on the usb port speed , and the ssd, but generally it’s fast enough.
Hey, i want to do this too, but i have 4 questions for youu;
1. Can you do this on a normal usb or do you need to have portable ssd?
2. If i already have some files on the drive will they be removed if i install windows on it?
3. If you have windows installed on the drive and you install a game, will it cause any problems?
4. If you install windows, do you lose all the already installed programs on your computer?
Hello, you need an external disk, all the data on this disk will be deleted, so please make a backup before to avoid any data loss.
All installed application will run as normal, but for certain games, you need to have the graphic card and the drivers.

@@nntechchannel1640 Thank you for replying this fast, and yes, I'll drop a like!
1- you can install it on a usb but it has to be super fast usb or else it will be slow, either way it is recommended to be on a ssd , and if so use a usb 3.0 adapter with usb 3.0 port to get maximum speed
2- yes
3-no
4-your computer drive will retain all your data and programs ,your drive that you are installing windows on will get erased
Will it work with Windows 10 20H2 Version? Or should I go with 1909 version? Plz reply asap

Yes or. No
