    This is an interesting question

    If you make the experience and use a Windows 7 install.WIM as target file in a manual procedure of buiding a Win-to-Go, you will get the answer about if its is working or not !
    I think that with the way Windows 7 was made, you will not get a boot on a USB interface
    Just try and tell us …

    There to many limitation running Windows 7 from USB Drive. Mainly you could use that USB Drive only on that computer you used for installation. You also need to activate Windows 7 on that machine.

    Windows 8 To Go didn't has that limits and you could easy use on any machine with all functions.

    Even "windows 8 to go" need activation on other machine... Its designed for corporate users, where KMS activate it....
