Windows 10: Windows 10 ToGo without Windows 8.1 Enterprise

Hello,

I try unsuccessfully to create a Windows ToGo drive with the Technical Preview from my Windows 8.1 Pro
I tried several software as WinToUSB or gimagex but it's impossible to boot while it works perfectly with using a Windows 8.1 iso.
I also followed the HowTo from howtogeek.com ...

Any idea or suggestions to help me ?
Thanks in advance for your help !

Best regards

:)

 

Windows ToGo windows 10 Enterprise,Where can I find the image file needed for install

Hi.I have Installed Windows ToGo on windows 8.1 Enterprise.

Now I am trying it on windows 10 enterprise but

When I run windows ToGo from Control panel and give it the hard disk location to install Windows on it

It goes to search For windows 10 Enterprise image and can't find any image fie.

I have downloaded a windows 10 Enterprise image file from Microsoft cause I didn't have its iso file the name of file is

14393.0.160715-1616.RS1_RELEASE_CLIENTENTERPRISEEVAL_OEMRET_X86FRE_EN-US

It is in my download folder and Windows ToGo can't find it.

Where should I get a working iso file?

Does the installation DVD works too or windows power-shell?

 

Installing Windows 10 Pro over Windows 8.1 Enterprise but not having to do a Clean Install

Can I install Windows 10 Pro over my current installation of Windows 8.1 Enterprise without having to do a clean install?

 

Try my method.

Still doesn't work ...
I have a fatal error while booting after 30 sec of loading.
Tried with 2 different iso

 

Did you format the stick as shown in Step #4 of my tutorial.

 

Yes, it worked perfectly with 8.1 ToGo ...
It's an external SSD not a stick but it doesn't make a difference

 

Right, stick or SSD is the same. I made both - even an external HDD, but that is slower.

 

Tried with another computer and same problem.
May my 2 iso be damaged ...

The whole process took me 10 mins ... maybe something is wrong ?

 

Hi there

I think to make a proper Windows to go (W10) you need the ENTERPRISE version -- it's a FREE download currently. The Boot command has changed so I don't think the same method as used in a NON enterprise version of Win 8.1 will work for Win 10. I believe there's a new WAIK available for W10 which might work but otherwise I think you'll just have to grab the enterprise version.


My solution which works really well from an external SSD is to install VMware player on a very small LINUX system and then bring up Windows VM. That way you can run ANY version of Windows !! and you don't have to re-activate when it's run on different hardware.

Will try it ... Just wanted to avoid this step of re installing my computer ...

 

Hello,
Hopefully I have 2 external disks ...
I made a 1st one with Win 8.1 Enterprise booted on it and then from this one I prepared the Win10 (using the tutorial from whs ) ...
Had a fatal error on the first boot with Win10 but then it works fine.
Thanks for your help!
