    What's your go-to for creating portable operating systems on USB drives?

    Correction. You can fix it after using Rufus. Once Windows is installed using that method, go into disk management and shrink as much as you want, and it will let you create new partitions for whatever you want. I used this method to only have a "Just Windows Tool USB". Basically one partition has the Windows installed on it, another has a multi Windows installer, and I have another partition encrypted for personal data.

      Awesome, thanks for sharing this information. Is it multi boot or just single boot with other installers and storage?

      @@theit-unicorn1873it's multi boot. Well at first it was single because it was only Windows installed using Rufus. But after that, I created another partition where I extracted all the files from an multi Windows .iso so I can use it to install Windows on other devices, and I edited the boot menu to make it multi boot. Works perfectly fine. I think you can add many things if you know how to edit the boot menu. But only this 2 partitions are bootable. The third and other partitions are not bootable, maybe because of the USB limitations, I don't know.

      Interesting. Do you use ventoy as well? Seems to me that ventoy is better suited for this.

      @@theit-unicorn1873 I use Ventoy as well. But I like my Windows to remain installed normal on my USB so I can have access to some files without needing to boot in it. In Ventoy you can only put it as a VHD.

      @@theit-unicorn1873 I mean cmon man you skipped over quite a few things. I'm grateful but this was definitely lacking some steps. E.g You didnt demonstrate anything in Virtual Box. You completely skipped the ventoy installtion. Both these steps have potential banana peels. So that was genuined constructive criticism no trolling.
