That was just the first link shown by google when I searched for PortableOperatingSystem. As a fellow skinflint, I use Rufus to create Win-to-Go USB drives (win10 only though, for use on Macs).

Have you ever tried changing the PortableOperatingSystem registry key to allow upgrades?

I put individual USB sticks into snack-sized Ziploc bags along with a Post-it note indicating the current contents. But, I'm cheap and lazy.

I can't, I misread the disk layout above. But the protective MBR could also explain it, since 2TB is also the filesystem size limit for MBR.

It's formatted fat32 which has a 2TB filesystem size limit.

Alpine, probably. I haven't yet tried it under wsl2, but it's intended to have an extremely light footprint.

Unless you anticipate keeping your drive quite full, turning TRIM off, and doing lots of small, random writes, over-provisioning may not be worth worrying about. This article on SSD Over-Provisioning from Seagate is worth a look. And, although it's over a decade old now, this arstechnica...

No. Guest window -> View -> Virtual Screen 1 -> Resize to -> Resize to 1024x768 (for example).

You might perhaps work out how to do what you're asking for by reading this tenforums tutorial, or you could use Ventoy. On the other hand, you don't really need your win11 enterprise iso to install win11 enterprise. A win10 or win11 pro install will be morphed to enterprise if you change the...

The previously offered powershell command renames the file without altering the contents. Try this: get-content ifile.txt | %{$_ -replace " *", ","} > ofile.csv Note that after the -replace, there are 2 spaces before the asterisk. This should be equivalent to your sed command, replacing...

If you want a UFD which can both clean install on unsupported hardware and do upgrade installs on unsupported hardware, then you should create the UFD with rufus 3.16 and manually remove or rename sources\appraiserres.dll from the UFD. To do a clean install, boot from the UFD. To do an...

Yes, but rufus doesn't do that, so you have to take care of it manually. Rufus changes only boot.wim, specifically by creating the BypassTPMCheck and BypassSecureBootCheck keys under HKLM\SYSTEM\Setup\LabConfig, and boot.wim is used only for clean installs. Surprisingly (to me) those keys are...

That's correct, unfortunately.

Wow, that was fast! But I'm not seeing the change adding the 'Windows product version' field, even after clearing my browser cache. Maybe it needs time to propagate, I'll check back later. Thanks!

As @Tink009 suggested, you can use the Select the target Feature Update version group policy. Formerly you'd enter, for example, 21H1 to "pin" the OS to Windows 10 21H1. Windows 11 introduced an ambiguity (there can be both Windows 10 21H2 and Windows 11 21H2, for example) so KB5005101 added a...
