windows 8 to go

[ryanwilc]

where did windows 8 to go go to. I heard about it for a little bit and then i never heard about it again. I think i would be great for a student. i could take it in to school and have a personalized computer! Do you think this will ever come to non enterprise windows users?

I'm pretty sure schools wouldn't allow you using their computers like that.

I hacked myself a windows 8 to go when I went to school 3 years ago. Installed it on a WD Passport 1TB HDD. it was slow boot the first time because it had to install the drivers but afterwards was great. It helped me not have to bother with the PC being slowed down to a crawl by their shit antivirus and being stuck with IE. They knew about it cause obviously how can you NOT stand out when you use windows 8 and everyone else got XP

 

you can find tutorials online on how to make it yourself.

My shool's bios need a admin password to boot from anything else than the HDD

could you use it on different computers or only on one. Is there a tutorial you watched. Do you have to have a windows 8 key

yeah, windows 8 is made pretty versatile. you can run it on as many kind of PCs as you want. Although you'll have to go through the initial hardware detection at the beginning. (the slower your drive is, the longer it'll take)

 

When fully booted, it's just like the normal windows 8 so yes, you need a legit key as well. 

 

I don't remember the exact tutorial I followed to created it, but this one is pretty much the same.
