    Because you only use windows as your primary OS as far as it's concerned.

    It's a bit reluctant but I've done it. What I didn't succeed in was installing it on a regular usb stick.

    @electrineer It's possible, but the paging eats almost all of the USB bandwidth, so it's slow and beans. Tends to kill the stick pretty fast, too, until you disable that. (Haven't tried it on a usb3)

    @shoop I know it's possible, but I also know that Windows handles external USB different from external hard drives. Some stuff you can do on both, some you can't.
