What FlashBoot is

FlashBoot is a Windows utility for preparing Windows installations on internal drives or USB storage, moving Windows to another PC, and making portable copies of a computer. The maker lists setup and cloning workflows for Windows 7, 8.x, 10, and 11, with available features depending on edition. FlashBoot Free can convert Windows setup media for USB, put Windows 8.x, 10, or 11 on USB as a full operating system, and save, restore, or copy USB images while retaining bootability. Pro adds privacy controls, Windows cloning, and driver integration for supported workflows. Its privacy options include registry tweaks and a DNS proxy to block selected kinds of Windows network activity, and it can set up Windows 11 without an online account. For full Windows on USB, the maker recommends USB 3.0, lists USB 2.0 as the minimum, and requires at least 16 GB. The Pro page lists $29.95, paid once, with lifetime upgrades included, but the purchase page says it is currently unavailable. FlashBoot runs on Windows and does not require activation.
