USB 2.0 and above versions will work very well this way on most computers, in my experience.īut start from Dolphin_Oracle’s video. Or just use the live-usb to boot the system, running from the the stick. You need the live-usb to boot it each time, i.e., using the live-usb’s bootloader, not your computer’s hdd bootloader.
It’s just a folder on the hdd, right there next to windows, on the same partition. IT WILL NOT PARTITION THE DRIVE & IT WILL NOT ADD ANYTHING TO THE WINDOWS BOOTLOADER. Booting from the live-usb menu this way will copy the live-usb’s contents onto the hdd/ssd. But here’s what I would do:ĭefinitely watch this video by Dolphin_Oracle (as mentioned by Robin): Ī summary of the frugal option is this: you boot from live-usb, choosing frugal (with or without persistence).

So make sure you have a full backup copy of your hard drive before starting, so you can restore everything in case of failure easily and simply start over for a next try. Worst case scenery is your windows won’t boot anymore. By doing this you do touch the windows installation already, and also the boot entries in the existing boot partition are changed. The first problem is: You need to modify the existing Windows 10 boot loader if you want to boot any additional operating system without another boot medium.
