One-click installation of Win8 into the U disk, mobile office I see!

Install the system to the U disk (or mobile hard disk can also be), carry it with you, go where to plug in the U disk, everything is done! Don't worry about synchronizing files, don't worry about personal habits, don't worry about security issues, everything is as simple as that! Mobile office, this is the king, what "cloud" is weak!

Drums for 2 days, finally got it, don’t dare to enjoy it, let’s share it with you! Take Microsoft's latest operating system Win8 as an example! There are many ways to circulate on the Internet. Here is an example of the simplest way to look at it. (meaning means that the U disk is installed as a C disk system, and it can be booted directly to Win8 without any installation operation on any machine.)

We only need to prepare the tool:
1, Win8 system image
2, Windows To Go software assisted multi-threaded optimization special Edition
(the above documents, papers will provide a tail)

well, let's go! First of all, we must first extract the install.wim of the sources folder in the Win8 image, you can use WinRAR to extract simple and convenient.
Then plug in our U disk (or mobile hard disk), use the system's own disk management to set the U disk as the "active area", this step is very important, if not set, it may cause the U disk boot can not boot the system! Right click on the drive letter and set it to "Activity"!

Open Windows To Go auxiliary software (Win7 users please run "administrator rights"), select the uninstalled install.wim File, "Select the installed disk", select your own U disk or mobile hard disk, here you need to pay attention to, the storage device must be greater than 20G space! Otherwise there will be tips! The storage device is still recommended for the USB3.0 specification~

There is a hint for less than 20G!



After selecting all, click to start the installation! Fully automatic, no manual intervention required. After the start, the software will automatically format the memory, so what information is still backed up in advance. Then pop up a CMD command line ~ there will be a progress bar and time estimate, let's wait!
It is strongly recommended to use the multi-threaded optimization version recommended in this post, this will reduce the installation time of this step, 3.0 device installation install.wim time is about 20 minutes! Please be patient, don't close the command line window!







After everything is installed, the CMD command line will automatically disappear, we close the software, restart the computer, enter the BiOS settings to start Under the item~ The motherboard of each computer is different, you can check your motherboard manual for modification.
Let's take this Lenovo's desktop as an example. After rebooting, click the DEL button to enter the BiOS settings.


According to the picture, select the second item on the left.

Next select Boot Device

1st Boot Device Item Selection, Removable Dev

You can enter Removable Dev to confirm Can the motherboard be recognized?

Okay~ After the setup is complete, save and exit, you can see Win8 after reboot!
The first start will be a little slow, wait patiently~ The operation is still very smooth, and it is no different from local operation!

Analysis of the principle:
first use the diskpart command To empty the disk, create a partition, format it to NTFS format and set it as the active area!

Then call Imagex.exe in the Windows Automated Installation Kit (AIK) (used to install install.wim to the specified partition) and bcdboot.exe on the Windows 8 operating system (used to set the boot of the specified partition)

command is as follows:
imagex.exe /apply install.wim 1 letter:
install.wim this step is intended to be mounted a disc. Change the letter to the letter of your mobile device.

bcdboot.exe letter: Windows /s letter: /f ALL
This step is written to the boot, the apparatus for Windows has been started. The meaning of the drive letter is the same as above.

this point the whole process and to explain the principles all over! Very simple! The tools provided below can shorten the installation time. The following principles can be seen and understood. The tool is convenient for us to use everyday. Entering this bunch of code is estimated to make many friends discouraged!
If you have succeeded through my method, then let's hang back!
