FlashBoot
What it is
FlashBoot is a Windows utility for preparing Windows installations on internal drives or USB storage, moving Windows to another PC, and creating portable computer copies. Its maker lists setup and cloning workflows for Windows 7, 8.x, 10, and 11, with available features varying by edition. The free edition can convert Windows setup media for USB, install Windows 8.x, 10, or 11 as a full USB operating system, and save, restore, or copy USB images while retaining bootability. Pro adds privacy controls, operating-system cloning, and driver integration. Its privacy options apply registry tweaks and use a DNS proxy to block selected types of Windows network activity; it can also set up Windows 11 without an online account. For a full Windows installation on USB, the maker recommends USB 3.0, lists USB 2.0 as the minimum, and specifies at least 16 GB. FlashBoot does not require activation, and the maker says it does not access the network during installation or operation. Pro is listed at $$29.95 one time, with lifetime upgrades, but the purchase page says it is currently unavailable.
