Okay, that sounds awesome, but I have three-questions. 1st. Is it the same for Mint version? 2nd. Can test out/actually use The Linux Mint or Distro version, then backup it all, remove the same thumb drive & it is as if nothing occurred? & 3rd. Can I save both OSs’ files to same thumb drive & still do 2nd. question?
I don't actually know if anything you try in the test state saves to the flash drive, sorry! But I know that if you try it, then shut down the PC and boot it with the drive removed, it will return to your copy of Windows like nothing happened since the last time you were on Windows.
I don't understand what you mean by "Mint version" and "distro version"; they're the same thing, I think.
