Thread: Start your PC from a USB memory

Although it seems the opposite very recently we were still with 3.5 floppies and 5.25 to carry information from one computer to another. Change and revolution have been USB flash drives or external USB drives which provide speed and high storage capacity.

Today we are faced with issues that before were also easy to solve such as what we are dealing with this article the initiation of a system from a boot disk. Windows allows you to create one of these discs but no longer carry and many computers do not even have floppy reader so it is best to use the new devices to perform that task.
