Yes, you can install Windows on a USB stick. The process typically involves creating a bootable USB drive with the Windows installation media and then using it to boot your computer. You may need to use tools like Rufus or Windows Installer to prepare the USB.

Tool for generating media files with ISO or browser support, including a user agent switcher for non-Windows environments. Use Rufus to create the file, ensuring UEFI settings are applied.

Would you prefer to use the USB as a portable installer or to run Windows directly from the USB drive?

Are you looking for an installer or just a standard setup? A regular installation works on Windows 2 and later, but a true normal install isn't possible.

You should ensure you have an Enterprise or Education edition of Windows 8/8.1/10 for your setup.

I need unique USB drives that I don’t own, and I’m not interested in any cost.
