I’ve just set up a Windows 10 installation USB and I’m curious about creating a folder there with all the installers (Steam, Chrome, Edge, etc.). Would this allow me to have everything in one drive instead of using two separate ones? Also, I want to know if the system will still recognize it as a Windows 10 media when I’m ready to use it at work. I don’t have another computer on hand, so I’ll double-check before I start and look for advice during my break.

Create multiple partitions on the USB drive before starting. Set aside a section for games and another for the Windows 10 installation.

Yes, you're correct. Additional methods include setting up, deploying your applications, and generating a restore file after resetting.

I didn't consider that, it could be a useful approach. I'll try it out once I get home. I have some experience with it since I needed to clear windows from certain SSD drives I owned. Not completely sure what you're referring to, but I'm open to understanding.

The Windows setup utility will reorganize the USB drive. @WickedStarfish You can employ sysprep to eliminate custom settings from a Windows setup. This allows you to run programs like sysprep, then generate an OS image for installation on another device. After booting, it appears as a fresh install with pre-installed applications. https://theitbros.com/sysprep-windows-10-machine-guide/
