Windows To Go feature explained

Windows To Go makes it possible for employees to use a managed device such as a USB drive, hard disk, flash drive even SD cards to work from home, a client office or in a library. The working of this feature is as simple as plugging and ejecting a USB drive. You plug the USB drive with Windows, select it during boot, and in a few seconds, Windows Start appears. Windows To Go allows a person to copy their entire Windows 11/10 installation onto a USB drive with all of the personal files intact and the user can resume working on their own files and applications. Documents in Windows 11/10 are automatically synced to your OneDrive. So you always carry your files with you and have a backup ready in the cloud. Other information:
