Rufus question

[Bruinator]

Hi,

 

I want to put windows 10 pro on an external ssd using rufus. I would also like to use it on any desktop / laptop I want. The question I have is when it comes to the image option should I chose "Standard windows installation" or "windows to go" ?

 

If someone could let me know that would be great.

 

Thx

I might play with this. I found this guide for creating Win10 To Go w/ Rufus.

Not a direct answer to your question, sorry.

You want Windows to go install if you want to use the drive on multiple computers without driver issues.

thx for that guys. Another question or 2 plz. First, partition scheme should be MBR and BIOS or UEFI. Second, i am going to use this on on 2 other windows machines both 64 bit and older Macbook pro 2010 that is 32 bit according to apple so should I use windows 10 32 or 64 bit plz on the external SSD plz?

 

TIA

Obviously if you want to be able to use it on that MBP then it'll have to be 32 bit.

Also UEFI.
