  You need to do some research.

  A quick search of the internet indicates Windows to Go is a feature in Windows 8 Enterprise.

  If that is the case, then you cannot have that feature in Windows 7.

  Windows To Go is a fully manageable corporate Windows 8 desktop on a bootable external USB stick.  It cannot be substituted with Windows 7.

  Hi,

  
  Windows To Go is an enterprise feature of Windows 8, and Windows 7 doesn’t have this feature. Thank you for your understanding.

  Thanks,
