Live USB (operating system on a stick)

A Live USB is a portable operating system that is stored on a USB flash drive or other removable storage device. The Live USB can be used to boot a computer without installing any software on the hard drive.

A Live USB can be created from a variety of different operating systems, including Linux, Windows, and macOS. To create a Live USB, you will need a USB flash drive with at least 4 GB of storage space. You will also need a computer with a USB port and a Live USB creator tool.

Once you have created your Live USB, you can boot from it on any computer that has a USB port. To do this, you will need to change the boot order in the BIOS or UEFI settings. Once the computer boots from the USB drive, you will be able to use the operating system on the Live USB just as you would if it was installed on the computer.

Live USBs are ideal for use in situations where you need to use a different operating system than the one that is installed on your computer. For example, if you need to use Linux for a specific task but you normally use Windows, you can boot from a Linux Live USB and use Linux without installing it on your computer.

Live USBs are also useful for troubleshooting purposes. If you are having problems with your computer, you can boot from a Live USB and use the operating system to diagnose and fix the problem.

Can you make a live Windows USB?

Yes, it is possible to create a live Windows USB. This can be done using a variety of methods, including using a third-party tool like Rufus, or using the Microsoft Media Creation Tool.

This can be useful if you want to use Windows on a computer that doesn't have an operating system installed, or if you want to try out Windows without making any changes to your main computer. What is the difference between a live USB and a bootable USB? A live USB is a USB drive that has been created with a live Linux distribution on it.
