How to install windows 8.1 on external usb flash?
Прочитал и изучил много статей и руководств по этому вопросу. Но только "свежий" способ такой установки: "Windows to go" - работает безукоризненно и в одно касание. Но этот метод для схемы разделов в GPT. Для MBR и в мультизагрузочной флэшке он не работает.
В моем случае имеется наружный USB диск объемом 1 Тб, на котором три основных раздела: из которых два с Linux и один свободный NTFS под Windows 8.1 или десятку. Задача такая: как установить Windows 8.1 на этот свободный раздел USB диска?

Yet? had to "demolish" the entire hard drive with a perfectly working OS X 10.10 Yosemite! From it, with the help of Boot Camp Assistant, I created a bootable flash drive from Windows 10 pro downloaded from torrents, if I'm not mistaken 1511, which did not want to become an external USB flash drive, since it is not installed on such drives? but this is half the trouble! She didn’t want to stand on the partition of my female disk created in the process (whose scheme is GPT), and Winda swears that the partition scheme is MBR - and, they say, I won’t install on such shit either! Even after "convert disk gpt" and "mbr", by the way - also, she didn't want to get on the disk, bitch! I had to demolish the entire installed OS X MAC to hell, again through DISKPART - convert the disk to MBR, after which, without problems,
Next, I download the AOMEI Partition Assistant Professional program from nnm-torrent-tracker, in the "master" section at the very bottom I click "Windows To Go" - and the pre-downloaded Windows 8.1 Pro from the Microsoft official download site - went to be installed on the USB Flash Driver. In general, the operation took 30-40 minutes along with all motion sickness and transformations. But I didn’t need all this crap in the first place! Now re-install the MAC on your hard drive!
During my search for a solution to this question: "How to install Windows 8.1 or 10 on an external USB Drive or flash drive", I came across several manuals on this topic that are translated from English, and in other words - specific rubbish! Instructions and videos in Russian - a whole "pond" on the Internet, but basically, each of them with a whole series of reservations, plus all of them are based on the "tambourine" methods, in other words, on the old ways of disassembling Windows in parts, and then connecting parts into one whole. Also, exactly the same antediluvian programs are given, with the same reservations - what will work after that and what will not! In the same Linux - in Archie or Ghent, a script would be written for this trouble and a "bold point" would be put, but with Winda, "sticking a finger in the nose" does not lead anywhere! Seemingly? the most crappy OS, and how much it costs! And did anyone read before installing the "User Agreement of the Parties" for Tens ?? This is "House 2" natural! You open yourself completely to the whole world and any evil eye! I am sure that most normal people who suddenly had to read it, without exception, put 8.1 instead of 10, removed all the "metro" and "trains" from it, bringing the eight to the interest of the seventh model, leaving the specifically necessary and useful software of the eight, turning off all the surveillance and data broadcasting functions in Microsoft - and "stupidly scored" on Windows 10 - the most disgusting bullshit from Microsoft ...
By the way, there are still a couple of other useful things in Windows - these are, first of all, Office, Power Shell and Windows Azure. However, just for the sake of useful things, you have to put Windu somewhere on the side, the third system, allocating precious disk space to it. When you “sit” on Linux and OSX for a long time, putting Windu next to you, somewhere in your left side it starts to stab, and if you have an extra rib ...
And, returning to the main topic, I want to add that, nevertheless, more or less I found a decent material on YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=baZj61nxRI4 (Установка Windows 8 на внешний USB Flash -Tiraytor). Но в этом видео относительно понятно объяснение до определенного момента - потом, быстрые щелчки клавиатуры и, что откуда и куда - становится ясным, когда сам начнешь копать и закапывать в заданном направлении, но я набрался и докопался - все работает... Главное то, что все операции можно проводить с мультизагрузочной флэшки, как указанным в видео путем, так и из командной строки.
