This seems to be an issue that I have not been able to conquer yet. Microsoft seem to have a restriction on updating Windows to Version 1607 Anniversary update with an external USB drive as system drive. Does anyone have any information on how to do this ?

kind regards

cannot find bootable image(0x000000C400250000)

I have installed WinToUSB and tried to upload win8.1 pro.iso but its not working. Its giving me error.

Image is ok, bcz i am using this image from long and yesterday for installation.

Please assist me.

Hope I may ask one more question (not a problem). I have learnt that Windows can only recognize one partition on removable media. But WinToUSB can create 2 partitions.  When I shrunk my Windows 10 installation to create space for cloning a Linux Kubuntu partition onto the same flash drive, I was later able to mount Kubuntu from Windows 10, (see end of https://youtu.be/l9MFxbUI_9Q ) Pls explain!

I am curious about why some of my older MBR tools report the main partition as type 11 (fat32) when it obviously is type 7 (ntfs) - see picture!  Or is it so that removable media has another set of partition types?  Are you using another formatting tool that a normal Windows format?  Please clarify!
   

I installed WinToUSB very well on a 32GB flash drive. When I formatted it afterwards for other uses, it's letting me back only 28GB!

Hi everybody,

i bought a new laptop with w10 and quickly made a raw back up of the hard drive to install a debian base os. I previously did usb backup of w10 with wintousb in order to use it with virtualbox. The usb w10 works well when I boot it directly but bugs when I VBoxManage convertfromraw . Can somebody help me here?

Video of my experience installing and running Windows 10 on SanDisk Extreme USB 3.0 using Legacy mode http://youtu.be/I0vVBC6ervg

We created an ISO file and ran the WintoUSB tool to install Windows to a USB drive. After the installation was completed, we put the stick into the computer we wanted to boot and it came up with the Windows 10 installation program. How can I get it to install?

please help I want comeback to use win to usb again.

I have been using Windows 7 to go for a long time from my external USB 3.0 HDD.
Some time ago I formatted and installed Windows 10 - nothing else has changed.
Windows 10 ran well and felt more performant than Windows 7.
After some automatic updates from Windows 10 I now always get the Error: INACCESSIBLE BOOT DEVICE when I try to boot from an USB 3.0 port.
USB 2.0 still works just fine.
I have always been using USB 3.0 and had really nice speed on the system - now with USB 2.0 it's quite slow.

Was anything patched in Windows 10, that makes USB 3.0 not working anymore?
Can this be fixed?

Thank you for your help!
