![]() Is it possible to transfer that key over to my VCS legally? like legally or is that installation now married to the MSI? Can I do Windows To Go from a clone image of the MSI hdd and it work to boot the VCS? I really would like to know if this stuff is possible. I would like to use the key from it's installation as I did pay for the OS for that laptop (It wasnt loaded with Win 10 originally). (MSI DOMINATOR PRO) It will probably be out of commission indefinitely as I am not paying close to $1000 for a new motherboard for it. I DO have a gaming laptop that is out of commission. I do not use Windows 10, I actually use Windows 7 on my main laptop so I don't know much about Windows 10. I am getting my VCS in the mail Monday, I have already bought 32GB RAM and a 500 GB M.2 SATA SSD. The objective was to show the type of the Windows 10 disk after install. I could also show the Windows 10 install from disk manager, but I didn't have time this morning. I already installed Steam, and some Steam games like Tempest 4000 on Windows. It is a FAT file system, as it always is. The other partition is the EFI System needed to boot Windows. You can see that the USB disk created with WinToUSB program has the disk label of that name. ![]() The screenshot below is from Linux, so I showed the system O/S type, and how it sees the VCS h/w. (/dev/sda is my Ubuntu USB disk, and /dev/sdb is my Windows USB disk.) In the attached screenshot, I am booted from my Ubuntu 20.04 USB disk, and I connected, after, I think wealthy enthusiasts forget that people till buy laptops with only 2 or 4GB RAM, and 32GB SSD. ![]() The VCS works happily under Windows 10 or Ubuntu 20.04 with the standard 8GB, with 6GB+ free. To clear up the confusion for some people, Windows 10 on an external USB disk is easy and works. They just plug it in, and for most people that's preferable, but it's great that we have options! The external USB 3.1 SSD solution, because it does not require them to take the I recently put one in another machine, but I didn't want to move it, as it wasn't really needed right now. Android-X86 is the next one I really want to get working, but it may prove a dead-end too.Ĥ) I didn't have a spare one to-hand, and we're in lock-down, with all retailers except supermarkets, closed.Īt the moment, postal/carrier deliveries are still in a mess, overworked, and unreliable. Windows, Ubuntu, ChromeOS, andĪndroid-X86. ?ġ) I wanted to keep the internal disk as a common data disk, for AtariOS and the operating systems.Ģ) I like that just plugging in the external disk causes the VCS to automatically boot with it, no BIOS select.ģ) I personally want to try various systems, and switch between them. Oh, and I didn't use an M.2 because of 3 primary reasons. ![]() The problem is principally that it's an external 5TB hard-disk. This guy may have posted his video here also, but I link it again. It was not on my normal TV, but a small (22") test TV I had lying around, but it's still running at full HD.Īfter installation, it boots up as normal, and quickly with SSD. I made a quick photo of my screen to show my VCS running Windows 10 with Steam, and Tempest 4000. ![]() That's the need for the 3rd-party program. The issue is just that the Windows 10 installer has 2 things it does not like.ġ) It does not want to install on a removable device - usually that makes sense.Ģ) It cannot install on a UEFI secure setup, which is also on a USB disk. (I could have also partitioned the disk, and used Grub or Windows boot-manager, to switch between the O/S.Īs it was, I just wanted to have dedicated disks, as I had a couple of smaller SSD's spare, but no big ones.) The previous evening, I installed my final Ubuntu 20.04 setup on a different USB SSD. I've not seen a doc talking about a virtual disk. No, it's not a virtual disk, it's installed directly on the disk. How do you add files to Windows if you do it this way? Did you do the external drive method? If so, it looks like the docs have you install Windows as a virtual disk. ![]()
