Do you have another USB drive? You could run it in a virtual machine if you just want to experiment with it. Or create a partition on your 1TB storage. Most people don’t want an OS on a USB stick because it’s slow, and 16GB isn’t enough space.

If i setup a partition , will it leave my windows untouched (extra stress on that word) Also will i be able to get a legit experience from a speed and responsiveness stand point?(well this q seems counter intuitive considering i was trying to install it on a usb smh)

Keep Windows intact (just create a backup first). Try installing it on a virtual machine to understand how it works. Running it alongside another OS should yield similar results.

Ram is another constraint in the VM, with just 4 GB available.

I will configure a dual boot setup and ensure a backup is made first.

That sounds like a massive 150-gigabyte backup for your 150-gigabyte storage device.
