Understand about Windows To Go?

           Windows To Go is a special deployment option that is available in the Windows 8.1 Enterprise edition. You can use Windows To Go to deploy the Windows 8.1 Enterprise edition to a specially prepared USB storage device. You then can use this USB storage device to start any compatible computer. When a Windows To Go device is started on a new computer, the boot process detects the computer’s hardware and installs appropriate drivers. When the same Windows To Go device is used to start the same computer again, the appropriate drivers are loaded automatically and Windows To Go starts normally. Windows To Go can store the hardware configurations of multiple computers.

Windows To Go Restrictions
           Windows To Go functions in a way that is very similar to a traditional Windows 8.1 desktop deployment, but with the following restrictions:

• By default, sleep and hibernation are disabled in Windows To Go. Though it is possible to enable this functionality by configuring Group Policy, this can lead to data corruption.
• Fixed internal disks on the host computer are offline. This is a security measure to ensure that third parties do not gain access to files on the host computer’s file system by booting computers using Windows To Go.
• BitLocker uses a boot password rather than a TPM password because the Windows To Go device will be used across multiple computers.
• Windows Recovery Environment (RE) and push-button reset are disabled. 
• Only Windows 8.1 Enterprise edition is licensed to be installed on Windows To Go devices.
• A USB storage device prepared with an x86 version of Windows To Go can be used with a computer with an x86 or an x64 processor.
• A computer prepared with an x64 version of Windows To Go only can be used with a computer that has an x64-compatible processor.
• Windows RT devices cannot be used with Windows To Go.
• The Windows Store is disabled by default in Windows To Go.
• The USB storage device with the Windows To Go deployment can be removed from the computer for up to 60 seconds. If the USB device is not reconnected in that time, the computer will restart.

Windows To Go Requirements
           Windows To Go only works with specific USB storage devices that are certified by Microsoft. One of the requirements for Windows To Go is that the operating system recognizes the USB device as a fixed disk.
You create Windows To Go devices by using the Windows To Go Wizard. This wizard only is available on computers that are running the Enterprise edition of Windows 8.1. You can start a computer from a Windows To Go device if it is connected to a USB 2.0 or USB 3.0 port.
