Windows Workspace is a USB based platform which give you the flexibility to use your personal USB drive
as a complete system, e.g. If you have two systems in different location, you can insert your usb ( windows
workspace compatible ) in your office system, boot from it and work on it. After finishing your office you
simply shut down your system remove the usb drive and this usb can be used on your home PC. You simply
plug this usb drive on your home PC, boot from it and you can continue your work from you have left in
office. Hence instead of carrying your PC or laptop from office to home or anywhere else, you just need
to carry a USB (windows workspace compatible) drive and you will get all your data and settings anywhere.

some devices F12 to enter the BIOS settings of PC or Laptop:

As I have applied the bit locker to the drive to ensure the data protection. It is asking for the password.
Put password ‘Enter@1234’ and press enter key.
Step4) After entering the password your system will boot as a normal windows based system. User
authentication screen will appear. User name is User and password is ‘123’:

Now you are working on your Windows Work Space USB drive. If you want to use this USB drive in some
other Laptop or PC just shut down your system and remove the drive and repeat the Step1 to Step4.

Cautions: As you are using a USB external drive for running complete OS and applications following
things must kept in mind before using the drive:

1) Never insert the USB drive in running PC or Laptop as this is not a normal USB drive now. First
shut down the system and then insert into USB port
2) Similarly when you are working on USB drive and after finishing your work never remove the
drive from running PC otherwise all your data got corrupted. First Shut down the system and
then remove the Windows Workspace USB drive.
3) Always use USB 3.0 compatible System or Laptop.
4) In case of system always use back instead of Front USB ports as these are directly connected
with motherboard of system.
