Partitioning USB drive for Windows 10 install

Deuteronomy93 · November 25, 2019

Hi All

I hope its just a quick question.

I have a 128GB flashdrive and I thought it would be great (if possible) to be able to partition it with a Windows 10 install on one and then install files for apps/exports of settings and some files on another.

It would only really be to reduce the amount of drives I have/need and take up a bit less room.

Many thanks!

Wish you best of luck, but i can not find a question.
But everything you said is do-able.

Sorry I realise I didn't phrase it correctly.

Can you partition a flashdrive, use partition a for a Windows install image (not the Windows install but the files/image to install Windows), and keep another partition clean for files?

I think so. as long as there is enough room, and you gave them a drive letter before using Rufus to make the thing bootable. Sure.
I would partition it in Windows Diskmanager. Since you can make and USB drive has multiple drive letters.
