7. FAQs
7.1 Windows to Go Provisioning Methods
Windows To Go can be provisioned three ways. Windows 8 and 8.1 Enterprise come pre-installed with
a provisioning tool. The way the tool provisions the drives is differently than how you would do it if you
were using PowerShell commands or through the command prompt using disk part.
Q) Can I provision a Windows to Go drive and not be on a Windows 8 Enterprise edition?
A) Yes. However, you will need to do it using PowerShell.
Q) What’s the difference between the PowerShell version and the Windows Enterprise tool?
A) The Windows Enterprise tool has the capability to hide drive contents. The Enterprise tool also
removes the drive letters, making it hidden from the host machine if plugged in normally running the
host’s OS. Using PowerShell commands, you will still be able to see both drives and its contents.
7.2 Windows to Go on Domain
Users who will be roaming for the majority of the time while using the WTG device need to ensure
that they also periodically run the drive on the enterprise network itself. This will prevent any potential
danger of their Active Directory objects from being deleted. Administrators should notify their WTG
users of the period interval in which they will need to run the drive on the enterprise’s network.
Q) I am trying to use my WTG drive at headquarters using my domain login, but it won’t let me.
A) It is possible that your device has not been connected to a host machine that is connected to the
domain in a very long time. Depending on network policies, the Active Directory objects could have
been deleted that pertain to your device. You should contact your help desk or administrator and inform
them of the situation.
7.3 Windows to Go CPU Architecture
A WTG device can only be provisioned on a machine with processor architecture that is compatible
with the image architecture. In addition, WTG provisioned drives will only boot properly if it the host
machine’s architecture is compatible with the WTG provisioned architecture. Refer to section 3.1
Minimum Requirements on page 7 that indicates compatible architectures.
Q) Can I provision Windows to Go drives on an ARM processor?
A) No, ARM processors are not supported by Windows to Go.
