s about Windows 2 Go
I checked how Windows 2go functions regarding activation. It seems the activation status depends on the device it's connected to, not just the OS itself. Using it on a different machine might affect whether it shows as activated. Your spare desktop without a hard drive could work, but make sure the USB3 port is correctly recognized.
I previously installed Windows 8.1 using a direct installation method. I believe this approach changes how activation works, or it could undermine the goal of easy transitions between devices.
So what's the point of using this exactly? On the windows 2 go faq it says you're supposed to be able to work on other computers but it requires more than one key. The point of me doing this is to have a machine/boot disk that I can use to help trouble shoot a clients PC with hard drive issues, if I need a new key every time I plug my windows 2 go installation into a different computer what exactly is the point?
I own a desktop PC at home that’s too bulky to travel with. For my business trips, I store my files on a USB drive and use Windows to access them. When I move to another state, I can connect the drive to a public computer in a library or hotel and regain access. That’s convenient for me. If you manage many clients needing support, a laptop might be more practical, or you could consider using Linux USBs.
