How to run Windows and work with it from an external drive on any computer?

Question

Iron

Having gone through Google, I put win7 on an external hard drive. On the laptop on which it was created, it runs. The computer mostly crashes with a blue screen. The boot disk created directly on a hard.
I need to have my own OS so that I can work with it on any computer (I often change computers).
I saw that you can put winPortable, but they say that it is castrated and it is impossible to sit on it normally.
What are the suggestions?

Answer 1

To be guaranteed to work - no way. If without taking into account the old coffins - drag the image of the virtual machine. Windows to go has a lot of limitations and often does not work immediately after connecting (requires a reboot). Windows PE is closer to what you want, but a bunch of software under it won't work, because it's compressed as much as possible, and you can't just add the necessary libraries and modules there.

Answer 2

There is an official solution from the Microsoft itself - Windows To Go, which seems to exist since Windows 8 in the Enterprise and Education editions.
All other self-made options in terms of performance owe nothing to anyone.

If that without problems - in any way.
And if you are ready to put up with problems - there are a lot of options for WinPE, WinToGo and a bunch of others.
Well, in any case, everything will work slowly - USB is a rather slow interface.
