Installing Windows 8 on an external hard drive or USB stick with Windows To Go - video tutorial

Hi friends, in this video tutorial we will see how it works Windows To Go, a new feature in Windows 8 which allows us to install Windows 8 stick or an external hard drive.
For Windows To Go to work you must use a USB stick or an external hard drive 32 GB minimum, with smaller drives goes. Also you need to have the operating system installed as an ISO image or as a DVD with Windows 8 inserted into the drive.
Microsoft recommends using a USB stick or USB external hard drive with a USB port 3.0 3.0 luckily USB 2.0 go on but it will move slower, I sincerely believe that it moves quite well and the USB 2.0 not would be no problem if you use the USB 2.0 all the time, especially as transfer speeds can reach 35 MB / s, a satisfactory speed.
At some point you will be prompted for a password, this is the password for Bitlocker, my recommendation would be to use BitLocker, this way no one can read the files, even if you use the drive on another computer.
Microsoft idea to put at our disposal such function is simply brilliant as Our staff can now use your own computer regardless of operating system that you use.
The Windows version was not 8 Release Preview Windows To Go, this feature was introduced in Windows 8 Enterprise RTM that I can download for free, you do not need serial and it can be used without problems for 90 days.
Imagine that you walk with the key operating system on a USB stick. That stick you have Windows 8 all the software you need. Super cool!
