I'm sorry for the unclear writing. I use a Windows 10 desktop with a USB 3 flash drive and have some experience with Linux distributions. With a 32GB drive, I can format the remaining space as a storage partition and set up a boot manager using a lightweight Linux OS. There are ways for Windows to support this through applications, though it may require some configuration. Let me know if you'd like more details!

In theory, you can place the bootloader on a USB drive. It’s also possible to configure a password in the BIOS. However, both methods provide minimal security and would likely hinder most casual users from trying it.

Imagine a solution that secures every partition or drive starting at A:/B:/C:... and stores the encryption keys on a separate flash drive.

I have extensive experience with computer systems, especially server installations. My software work mainly involves setting up operating systems and using emulators like MAME.
