WinToUSB 9.4.0 by Hasleo Software

WinToUSB is a free software tool that lets you install and run a Windows operating system on a USB hard drive or flash drive, using an ISO image or a physical CD/DVD as the installation source.

WinToUSB also supports bootable WinPE USB drives. It can transfer WinPE content to a USB drive and make it bootable.

Additionally, WinToUSB can be booted on multiple computers. On the first connection, it automatically detects the system hardware and then downloads and installs the required drivers. So the next time it is connected to the same PC, it will instantly identify the proper tools.

Since not all software supports running on such an operating system, it should be tested beforehand. This helps avoid difficulties later when you may rely on that specific utility.
