I have a laptop HDD but how can convert to a portable drive?

Hello,
I successfully installed windows 10 Pro on a 128 Gb Sandisk USB thumb drive.
It works flawlessly, however every now and the I get a message in Windows saying that I do not have enough free space in the drive where the VHDX file is.
How is it possible?
Does Windows 10 Pro really take 128 Gb of space?

Please help.
Thank you!

I’m using a Macbook Pro 2017 and worked with WTG drivers for months. Recently i bought NVIDIA RTX graphic cards but my older version 1703 doesn’t work with RTX. I have to upgrade my Windows into 1809 so I chose WinToUSB to do that. I erased and formatted my drive and installed WTG correctly, but after I successfully booted the first time into WTG and installed the Boot Camp drivers and restarted, the WTG cannot be booted anymore. I erased again and clean installed again and things are the same. I want to know what’s the problem here, thank you!

The drive I am using is a Sandisk SSD with a SATA USB C case. I also tried to connect to the SATA port of my eGPU case and use the Thunderbolt 3 as I used to do, but didn’t work as well.

Hello,
I have wintousb installed as vhdx.
when native booting the system starts without problems, but always comes with the Windows performance optimization, since no paging file can be created. What have I done wrong. Please help.

The changes made so that 1809 works seem to be reversed when sfc /scannow is run. I was attempting to fix an issue where Legacy booting worked but EFI would hang on loading everytime, recreated the boot partition with bcdboot, didn't work, tried sfc /scannow and now the system blue screens every time I boot legacy or EFI.

Just something for others to take note of.

Hello. I hope I'm posting in the proper thread.

It would appear after 4 days of trying to determine the issue I'm experiencing that your product will not work with a PNY Turbo 256GB USB 3.0 Flash Drive.

I have an Asus ROG G75VW it only has USB 3.0 ports. I was attempting to install Windows 8.1 from a verified working ISO.
My PNY Turbo 256GB USB 3.0 Flash Drive keeps throwing a BSOD USB 3.0 BUG error code.

I used a micro SD card after my 4th day of process of elimination and it works fine!

So it's not user error. Can you please tell of a remedy for the issue other than to insert a USB 2.0 stick or port?

If not I'll look elsewhere for a product that can suit my needs.

Thanks for your time.

Hi all, brand new here. Got a problem that might be related to WinToUsb and hope to get some help.

Today I successfully installed a win10-1803.iso on an external/usb drive using WinToUsb (latest version).
I can boot the drive and Windows 10 starts, logo appears, then the spinning dots appear and the logo disappears, and then...... the dots just keep spinning for hours and set up does not continue.

What could be the cause?

(BTW: It's a 1TB drive, which I had to split into 2 smaller drives bc WinToUsb would not proceed in the installation set up.)

Can't clone to go USB HD, using Legacy option. Source is win10 x64 1809 with disabled appstore. Same Boot/System drive, BIOS only.

Hi,

I'm trying to install Windows 10 1809 (from an ISO downloaded using Microsoft's Media Creation Tool) to an external SSD (it's actually an internal one, placed in a USB enclosure), but I'm getting the error in the attached picture (0x0000010F09460000) when clicking next (neither Home or Pro seem to work). I'm using the free edition of WinToUSB from a Windows 10 PC (registered with a Microsoft Dreamspark (student) license). Thanks!

Running WinToUSB on Win 10 1809. VHDX is greyed out. Why?
