TechEd Amsterdam: Windows 8 To Go

You want to check out Windows 8 and don't have hardware to spare, can't run virtual or if just want to check if your computer can run Windows 8 ? Then you might try Window 8 To Go. You need a USB drive with some space available, running it on USB 3 will of course give faster speed, but I have runned it on several USB 2 disk (memory stick and USB 2/3 often got to hot, so I use disks instead) without problem. I runned the developer preview on a Lacie Rugged Disk 500 GB (7200 rpm) and did several session on it at NIC 2012 and Utmessan on this solution without any hickups or problems

Slide decks from UTMessan 2012 are now uploaded

And you can find them on slideshare Windows 8 What's the fuzz all about Selling Deployment By The Pound If you want to creat your own Windows 8 To Go you can ready my blog post about how to do it here One of the great thing about To Go is that you can test the hardware before installing it. Sadly to little time to cover all I wanted, but hopefully people got an insight to MDT.

29.Feb: Working also with the new Consumer Preview!!! Lots of new cool features are coming with the new version of   Windows, and it might be interesting to test it out now, even if it’s just an developer preview version that are out now. Of course you can try it out virtual (and if you have Windows 8 installed you can use the Hyper-V role to test out..eh, okay, that’s one of the new features in Windows 8). But it’s always better to test out new operation system on actual hardware. So this would ordinary lead up to dual booting operating systems (Windows 8 are not stable or feature rich enough to be you only operation yet, maybe that will change in the beta release) or changing hard disk. But one new cool feature that you can use without actually installing the operating system is the “Windows 8 To Go”
