Windows To Go Startup Options Shortcut

In Windows 10, 8.1, there is a Windows To Go Startup Option which lets users turn on or off always automatically boot your PC from a Window To Go when they connect a USB drive or any different bootable USB drive to the workspace. If we go with the option then instead of Windows your system will be automatically configured to automatically boot from the USB bootable drive that you have connected to our PC.

If you adjust the startup option to No then Windows will automatically boot your PC until and unless you manually configure the BIOS or UEFI settings to boot from USB Drive.
