How do you boot Windows from USB without using third party tools?
- adrian_b 6y agoI have no idea. That is why I boot Linux from Thunderbolt or USB and for the few Windows programs that I need I use either Wine or a Windows VM.

- userbinator 6y agoLook up WinPE. It's a lightweight "live CD/USB" version of Windows that can be run entirely in RAM. A full "portable Windows" install can be made from it. AFAIK all the third-party tools do is automate the process of copying thousands of system files and also act as a boot manager.
