Before the crash, I had posted a procedure whereby Windows 10 could be installed on a portable flashdrive. This is not the same article, but it does include Windows 10 in its array of compatible versions: (second paragraph down)

Copied and pasted from the article - "What Is Windows To Go?

Windows To Go allows you to install a fully-functional Windows 10/8.1/8 operating system onto an external hard drive or a USB flash drive. This makes your USB a portable Windows environment, similar to a Linux distro that is designed to run from a USB. With Windows To Go you can carry the live Windows system anywhere and use it on any computer."

It also includes Windows 8 and 8.1.  Some people are still on 8/8.1, although it makes much more sense to be up to Windows 10 by this time.

Towards the bottom of the article there is also a reference to WinToUSB, which clearly references various versions of Windows 10:  http://www.easyuefi.com/wintousb/

I spoke at the May 2017 meeting regarding bootable OS's from a USB flash drive.

I carry these USB flash drives with me. So when the occasion arises, I have a personalized, secure, bootable operating system.
