Windows to Go

Windows to Go is a great addition to Windows Server 2012, where effectively Windows is installed on a USB drive and Windows can be booted from the thumb drive. By having a bootable thumb drive, organizations can allow users to use various desktop and laptop systems that may otherwise be installed and configured with a different operating system or configuration (for example, a home system) but booted to the thumb drive that has a secured version of an organization’s operating system and applications. Windows to Go helps organizations maintain security of system configurations while allowing employees to retain personal laptop or desktop configurations.
