Work at home and disaster recovery are the primary use cases as Windows To Go can transform any PC into a corporate PC with your application stack, all on a USB drive. Windows To Go is also perfect for trying out Windows 8 on your primary machine without destroying your current OS.

Downloads
- Start downloading the Windows 8 Consumer Preview ISO image of your choice as at 3.3 GB for the 64-bit download it might take a while. Note: if you intend to run your Windows To Go on hardware that doesn’t support 64 bit then you’ll need the 32-bit ISO file.
- If you don’t already have it then start downloading The Windows Automated Installation Kit (AIK) for Windows 7 ISO file. You actually only seem to need a single file from this install (imagex.exe) but unfortunately this 1.7 GB download is the only official way to get it.
- You’ll also need some software to mount these ISO files unless you want to burn them to DVD (if you can remember what those things are). I’ve used Virtual CloneDrive. UPDATE: or you can use winzip or 7-zip (thanks to Gary P in comments)
