UEFI provides a graphical user interface, supports larger storage devices, enables faster boot times, and allows for more secure boot processes.

    Whats the different between windows to go feature and a typical install (a installation without windows to go)?

However, with Windows To Go, the operating system is installed on an external drive, allowing users to carry their personalized Windows environment with them and use it on different computers. This feature also ensures that there is no network connection to Windows To Go and that the internal disks of the computer connected to Windows To Go remain online. Additionally, Windows recovery is not available on a typical installation, whereas it is available on Windows To Go.
