Thanks for those pointers for putting Windows on a flash drive.
They seems to require a Windows installation disk, and, as we all
know, no such thing exists for laptops nowadays.

At least mine never came with a "windows installation disk".

So, how do you build Windows on a flash drive when you only
have Windows installed on the hard drive?

Retrieve your Windows ID number, can't think of what it's
called. Then download an iso from MS with that number.
I've done that with Win 7 Pro.
