<p><font size="4">Thanks Peter,</font></p>
<p><font size="4">One more thing to bear in mind. Microsoft often
says that it needs 16 gigabytes of space to create your recovery
drive with the system drive files and a 16 gigabyte flash drive
has just less than 16 gigabytes of space on it and you don't
want to skimp in this area. Even if you can manage to get your
recovery drive to fit on a 16 gigabyte flash drive you might
find yourself out of luck in a year. Every time Windows Update
modifies your computer with security fixes and system upgrades
the size of the system recovery disk gets bigger so essentially
it grows over time and every year you re create the drive it's
going to be a little bit bigger and need just a little bit more
space so get that 32 gigabytes to be safe!</font></p>

<p><font size="4">Oh, and if anyone's interested I can do a short
tutorial/workshop to help folks who have an interest in windows
11 booting from a USB drive. In order to get an early look at
windows 11 without getting a new computer or upgrading your
existing system or running virtual machine software you can
install windows 11 or Windows 10 directly to a USB flash drive
so that when you boot your computer from USB it runs windows 11
instead of whatever operating system you have on your C drive.
If you use the windows 11 download ISO file you will have a
trial of windows 11 that you can keep recreating every 60 days
should you wish to. It won't affect your main system running
Windows 10, or even Mac OS. Yes, Intel Macs can dual boot
Windows 10/11 from USB with the right utility. <br>
</font></p>
<p><font size="4">Additionally, I have another utility that I use
called Rufus to create bootable USB versions of Linux Mint in
particular. It creates a second persistent partition for data. I
will share the information that I have running Linux from USB
and it's usefulness. Basically, you can in this case use a 16
gigabyte or larger flash drive that boots in less than 30
seconds off a current model computer. You can update packages,
create bookmarks and documents etc.. Every time you boot
everything comes back as if it were a real computer. Use a
regular external hard drive and you can use that as your
permanent Linux computer should you not want to have a separate
physical computer for Linux.<br>
</font></p>
<p><font size="4">Several Linux distributions offer what they refer
to as a "Live" version that boots/runs from CD/DVD very slowly
and have no option for saving anything once you power down. Now
you can use this utility to convert that live CD/DVD into a
permanent USB computer!<br>

<p>During yesterday's great presentation on Windows 11,
there was a mention of creating a "Windows Recovery
Drive". As there was some discussion on this topic,
here's a <a
href="https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/create-a-recovery-drive-abb4691b-5324-6d4a-8766-73fab304c246"

details from Microsoft and instructions for Windows 10
and Windows 11. There are links on this page for other
windows versions as well.</p>
