Hi guys, basically as the title says I want to make external SSD drive with "Windows to Go" for the stuff that I really need Windows for unfortunately (proprietary CAD software) but there is no software for making this on Linux that I can find

Boot to WinPE and use Rufus to create one maybe? Not sure if WTG still works though.

I personally never used WTG. If you're planning to use this across multiple machines/hw configs, I don't think the normal windows can handle it as you'd have to install the correct drivers every time. I recall there being some hardware profile thing at bootup but not so sure. (that was XP)

    Thanks I know I can't use it on multiple hardware. I plan to use it with a single laptop
