Also trying to make this all work on an SD-card in my 2015 MacBook Pro (removable storage). I' trying to figure out a way to boot BCD bootmgr direct from the first NTFS partition so I can select one of the above VHDX installs.


I've made two vhdx images, one with BCD in the VHD (for VMs) and one without (NativeBoot).Ĭonvert-WindowsImage -SourcePath c:\Build\en_windows_8_1_pro_vl_圆4_dvd_2971948.iso -BCDinVHD VirtualMachine -Edition Professional -SizeBytes 55GB -VHDFormat VHDX -VHDPartitionStyle GPT -VHDPath C:\Build\Win81ProVM.vhdx -VHDType DynamicĬonvert-WindowsImage -SourcePath c:\Build\en_windows_8_1_pro_vl_圆4_dvd_2971948.iso -BCDinVHD NativeBoot -Edition Professional -SizeBytes 55GB -VHDFormat VHDX -VHDPartitionStyle GPT -VHDPath C:\Build\Win81ProNB.vhdx -VHDType Dynamic I've been using the TechNet Convert-WindowsImage tool to make the VHDX files. WinToUSB is a good Windows To Go Creator which allows you to install and run a fully-functional Windows operating system on an external hard drive or a USB flash drive. I've been toying with Rufus 2.2 with their UEFI_NTFS bootloader.
