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

    Since you’ve edited to clarify, you want WinToUSB.

      None of these are what he’s asking about. He wants windows installed on a flash drive, so he can boot to it and be in the OS, with windows seeing the flash drive as C:

        So they want the second one I mentioned, WinToUSB.

        Edit: Though to be clear you can do this with Ventoy too, just make a vhd.

        Flash drive performance gonna be abysmal. If you want to try it on day I suggest a dedicated external SSD connected via USB 3 atleast
