Simultaneously click Windows Key+R (CMD+R for Mac Keyboards) WAIK = Windows Assessment and Deployment Kit Limitations for SD cards are that you can only do one thing at a time or your system will lock up when you are using it.Ģ.Windows 7/8/10 installed machine or Virtual Machineģ.An empty USB Hard Drive or SD Card (Minimum Size 32GB).Ĥ.WAIK Files: (If you know a better site that can I can upload it and store it forever, please leave a comment below) I recommend SD Cards with 90+MB/s Reads and 90+MB/s Writes. Make Sure your card can at least do 25MB/s Writes and 48-80MB/s Reads. You might kill your SD card really fast running an OS on it. It's expensive, limited performance, and limited writes.
For SD Card Installations (Highly Not Recommended). (This is a very weird issue by Windows)ģ.

So backup what ever is on that drive to another system. Warning: What ever storage medium you use, it will require the whole drive. I love OS X(macOS)/Linux because installing it on an USB hard drive is exactly how you would install it on your system drive. I am currently running it on an 128GB Samsung EVO+ 25MB/s Write and 80MB/s Read. I know most average users wont try this, but I just wanted to put this out there for those who would like to try. Its still complex, but I simplified the steps as best as I can. Found a solution that was out there, but isn't really talked about because of it's complexity. Some like me, who don't like having to share the OS X with the Windows on our limited SSD drives. For me, I need Windows for my Visual Studio App Testing Dev Environment. Like many OS X users, we love OS X, but there's that 1 app that we have to use for either work/entertainment/etc that makes us go back to Windows.
