I've tried using WinToUSB on both a 32 GB USB 3 flash drive and a really old 160 GB  mechanical (spinning) drive.


I've tested both, and the flash drive has much faster read/write speeds than the spinning drive. It can do like 130/60 MBps, while the spinning drive is more like 27/27.

Yet, when I tried to install Windows 10 on the flash drive, and booted from it, it was painfully slow. It froze all the time, and was basically useless.

Running from the (8 year old) mechanical drive, it works just fine! It's probably not at optimal speed, but it's just fine for my needs.

I remember getting a warning while installing to the flash drive, saying that it might not work very well on that drive. But why is that? Isn't read/write speed the most important thing? What limitations are there on the USB 3 flash drive that made running Windows from it not work? I mean, it's read/write speeds are so fast!

Hi

The internal HDD of the computer I'm booting WinToUSB drive on does not appear in Windows Explorer. How can I make it appear?

I'm running Windows 10 Pro, 64-bit. I just made a fresh installation using WinToUSB.

I remember it working before. But I was using Windows 8, 32-bit back then. It was the same computer.

What can I do to make the computer's internal HDD appear in Windows Explorer?

Hi Guys,
I have a broken W10 install and want to create a NEW Clean install and slowly migrate everything across. I'm a very busy user and have lots of bits of software to re-install and setup once installed (custom layouts of screen environments etc etc)

I guess I need a dual boot system for a while?

Is this something you can help with?

I'm a new user and want to try out the product. I might purchase a license in the future, but I can't get my first try to even start as the free/trial version is giving me the following message:

"The free/trial version doesn't support Windows Enterprise/Server operating systems.(0x0000010708AB0000)"

I'm just trying to install Windows 7 Pro.....is that supposed to be restricted in the free/trial version?

Am I doing something wrong?

Screenshot attached of page where I'm selecting the version to install: hitting the next button gives a dialog with the message above.

Thanks for any insight or tips to get it to work.

This has happened to me twice now cloning Window 8.1 to Extreme usb 3.0 works 100%, however it seems when the space is getting low on the 64GB stick windows decides to use the paging file on the local internal drives & also changing the boot menu thinking it shouldboot from D drive & not  drive C.

Does the autounattend.xml file work with a New Installation to a HDD? If so where do I put the file?

Hi All,

Good day. I'm having issue to use my cloned OS in different laptop. It is successful to use the cloned OS in Lenovo ThinkPad L430.

However, when I try to use in HP EliteBook 840, it failed.

I had checked the BIOS/UEFI setting at HP EliteBook 840 and it is using Legacy instead of UEFI.

Take note that both Lenovo ThinkPad L430 and HP EliteBook 840 are using windows 7 32 bits and both using Legacy but it just can't use in HP EliteBook.

I'm using external SSD running USB 3.0 with 128GB ADATA SSD that plug in into laptop USB3.0 slot.

The clone OS is windows 8.1 and it is perfectly running in Lenovo ThinkPad L430.

Anyone can help?

Regards,
Stevenson

First I would like to thank you for this program.I am a multibooter bitten with the Linux bug but also a Windows user and I use two hard drives.When I install a new distro to the boot order sometimes it messes EFI boot order all up. Or I get one that keeps wanting to make itself the default boot or I end up with two EFI entries that both say "ubuntu" for example.I can go in and check the boot path under "edit" and rename it to keep things more organized.Sometimes its like a dog chasing his tail, I go EasyUEFI to bios , looks good, save and exit bios and its wrong again.But, with patience a few moves with easyuefi , disabling or lowering priority of a boot I eventually get the desired boot order.I like to one time boot with F12 since my wife is computer challenged and a dedicated Windows user.I set it as default.EasyUEFI has saved me from starting all over several times.
My Question, every once in a while I get two or three Windows Boot Manager entries when the boot order gets messed up.One of these boot entries if you click on "edit" has optional information listed under the boot path.These usually dissappear if I get the boot order straight but if the Windows Boot Manager entry with the optional entries gets set at the top of the boot order it boots to Linux Mint.I made the mistake recently before I knew better and tried to delete it , either easyuefi got confused because of the common entry name or I deleted the wrong one I dont know. I had to go back to the install disk of Windows 10 and do repair of the EFI partition.What if I just edited the Optional information under the boot path of this rogue Windows Boot Manager if it shows up again would Mint put it back?I have a straight Linux Mint boot EFI path dont need or want this rogue Windows Boot Manager. Weird, how when your really fighting the boot order all these entries show up in EasyUefi until you get the order right and boot a couple times, then they disappear.
