[WINDOWS] Boot from usb drive
#3
Two reasons to avoid USB booting windows:

- Windows is far too large to boot from USB. USB3 booting is sketchy anyway, and USB2 speeds would give boot times of a few minutes, and that's if the full 480MB/s is used, which is rare.

- Windows also likes to access the disk without you asking; USB drives are not designed for constant r/w access like that.
