That is, a Windows must be booted and run completely from an external drive, be able** to save settings** and data, and all other stuff -- perform all the things that a Windows installed normally, on an internal drive, does.

As far as I know, WinToGo doesn't work anymore. And I even have never used it anyway.

What works nowadays? Will Rufus be able to do this?
