With all this Windows 10 news, some of us forgot about one of the most awesome features Microsoft gave us back in Windows 8, Windows To Go. The idea of having your entire office computer on your keys is possibly the coolest thing I have ever had the pleasure of doing. But why would you use it? Why on earth would you want to carry your entire computer with you in your pocket? Read that last question back to yourself, that’s why.
What exactly is Windows To Go? In a nutshell, it’s a portable Windows desktop environment designed to be plugged into a PC and boot into the OS, just as you left it. Let’s take a real world scenario.
You’re at home, working on a very highly classified PowerPoint presentation that you, and only you, can make. Your PC at work is still running Windows 8, and it’s frustrating as you’ve grown so fond of Windows 10 that Windows 8 seems like a distant memory. The thought that you want to work on your super secret awesome PowerPoint presentation on a Windows 8 running machine sits in the back of your mind, rendering you useless and unable to concentrate.
