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.

# Best practice recommendations for Windows To Go
**Applies to**
- Windows 10
>[!IMPORTANT]
>Windows To Go is no longer being developed. 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.
The following are the best practice recommendations for using Windows To Go:
- Always shut down Windows and wait for shutdown to complete before removing the Windows To Go drive.
- Do not insert the Windows To Go drive into a running computer.
- Do not boot the Windows To Go drive from a USB hub. Always insert the Windows To Go drive directly into a port on the computer.
- If available, use a USB 3.0 port with Windows To Go.
- Do not install non-Microsoft core USB drivers on Windows To Go.
- Suspend BitLocker on Windows host computers before changing the BIOS settings to boot from USB and then resume BitLocker protection.
Additionally, we recommend that when you plan your deployment you should also plan a standard operating procedure for answering questions about which USB drives can be used for Windows To Go and how to enable booting from USB to assist your IT department or help desk in supporting users and work groups that want to use Windows To Go. It may be very helpful for your organization to work with your hardware vendors to create an IT standard for USB drives for use with Windows To Go, so that if groups within your organization want to purchase drives they can quickly determine which ones they should obtain.

From the start, Windows To Go was designed to minimize differences between the user experience of working on a laptop and Windows To Go booted from a USB drive. Given that Windows To Go was designed as an enterprise solution, extra consideration was given to the deployment workflows that enterprises already have in place. Additionally, there has been a focus on minimizing the number of differences in deployment between Windows To Go workspaces and laptop PCs.
