    I have made a Windows To Go drive with instructions found on this forum. It has been working quite well but now I would like to move it to another machine. Do I need to run a command to remove the system information and my settings, or can I just plug it into another machine and let Windows handle it? Does anyone know what the command is, if that is what I need to do?

    Just plug into the other machine and set to boot from that drive and that should simply works. May you check the Settings in BIOS and change in that other machine to the same as the origin machine.

    note that unless it was actually an enterprise windows 10 or other volume license key, it will probably not be activated on the machine you move it to. :(

    really wish MS would tie portable windows 10 installs to the boot device instead of to the motherboard.
