# Deploy Windows To Go in your organization
**Applies to**
- Windows 10
This topic helps you to deploy Windows To Go in your organization. Before you begin deployment, make sure that you have reviewed the topics [Windows To Go: feature overview](planning/windows-to-go-overview.md) and [Prepare your organization for Windows To Go](planning/prepare-your-organization-for-windows-to-go.md) to ensure that you have the correct hardware and are prepared to complete the deployment. You can then use the steps in this topic to start your Windows To Go deployment.

> [!IMPORTANT]
> Windows To Go is removed in Windows 10, version 2004 and later operating systems. The feature does not support feature updates and therefore does not enable you to stay current. It also requires a specific type of USB that is no longer supported by many OEMs.

Removing the drive from the USB port without ejecting it first can cause the drive to become corrupted.

## Basic deployment steps
Unless you are using a customized operating system image, your initial Windows To Go workspace will not be domain joined and will not contain applications. This is exactly like a new installation of Windows on a desktop or laptop computer. When planning your deployment, you should develop methods to join Windows to Go drives to the domain and install the standard applications that users in your organization require. These methods probably will be similar to the ones used for setting up desktop and laptop computers with domain privileges and applications. This section describes the instructions for creating the correct disk layout on the USB drive, applying the operating system image and the core Windows To Go specific configurations to the drive. The following steps are used in both small-scale and large-scale Windows To Go deployment scenarios.

Completing these steps will give you a generic Windows To Go drive that can be distributed to your users and then customized for their usage as needed. This drive is also appropriate for use with USB drive duplicators. Your specific deployment scenarios will involve more than just these basic steps but these additional deployment considerations are similar to traditional PC deployment and can be incorporated into your Windows To Go deployment plan. For additional information, see [Windows Deployment Options](/previous-versions/windows/it-pro/windows-8.1-and-8/hh825230(v=win.10)).

>If you plan to use the generic Windows To Go drive as the master drive in a USB duplicator, the drive should not be booted. If the drive has been booted inadvertently it should be reprovisioned prior to duplication.
### Create the Windows To Go workspace
In this step we are creating the operating system image that will be used on the Windows To Go drives. You can use the Windows To Go Creator Wizard or you can [do this manually](/previous-versions/windows/it-pro/windows-8.1-and-8/jj721578(v=ws.11)) using a combination of Windows PowerShell and command-line tools.
