So, two questions:
- Is there any reason I couldn’t just make an image of my system disk (64 GB, USB 3.0 flash drive), restore it to another drive, and boot from the new drive without any further configuration?
- Is there a “best” flash drive to use? I can find really expensive stuff, but I’m not convinced it is significantly better than the $12 Samsung flash drive.
