In their own words
FlashBoot
FlashBoot is a Windows utility for preparing Windows installations on internal drives or USB storage, moving Windows to another computer, and creating portable computer copies. The maker lists workflows for Windows 7, 8.x, 10, and 11, with availability depending on edition. FlashBoot Free converts Windows setup media for USB, installs Windows 8.x, 10, or 11 as a full operating system on USB, and saves, restores, or copies USB images while retaining bootability. Pro adds Windows privacy controls, operating-system cloning, and driver integration. Its privacy options include registry tweaks and a DNS proxy for blocking selected Windows network activity; it can also set up Windows 11 without an online account. Pro supports installable clones with apps and data, bootable USB clones, and selected driver integration. For full Windows on USB, USB 2.0 is the minimum, 3.0 is recommended, and at least 16 GB is specified. FlashBoot does not require activation or network access during operation.
